Windows Start menu icon issue:
Some of my icons in my windows 10 Start Menu are just presenting as white rectangles - no icon images
Some are fine and sj=howing the correct images
It is only affecting the Start menu icons - the desktop icons and taskbar icons are fine
I have tried the following:
Rebooted the laptop
Restarted explorer.exe
Ran the Cmd.exe from desktop as administrator and also from taskmanager as Admin and tried to delete the iconcache.db files from:
%localappdata%\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer
and from
%localappdata%
I get the "Access Denied" for some of the files when deleting them even though I am running the cmd.exe as admin, also in safe mode
Also tried re pinning the apps
When I pin the corrupted apps to the taskbar the icons show the correct images so it is just affecting the icons in the start menu
PLEASE PLEASE do not suggest the usual google searches as I have exhausted them
This just happened - no windows updates etc.....
No idea why
