I noticed that Micrsoft Edge was missing the taskbar icon, and then noticed all UWP apps are missing their icons. You can see this clearly in this screenshot of the lock screen settings:
Things tried:
- Tried repairing Windows using
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
andsfc /scannow
, but they didn't find any problems. - Reinstalling Edge with the following command didn't help either:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -verbose}
- updating my graphics drivers to no avail.
- chkdsk C: /f /r /x
- Get-AppxPackage | Remove-AppxPackage then reboot and follow with Get-AppxPackage -allusers | foreach {Add-AppxPackage -register "$($_.InstallLocation)\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode} and reboot again.
- Try and delete %AppData%..\Local\IconCache.db then restart.
- Rebuild a Broken Icon Cache in Windows 10 - "To rebuild the icon cache, you have to delete all the iconcache files that appear in this folder":
\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer
Any idea what the problem might be, or suggestions on how to get the icons back?
