Press Ctrl+C to copy and right-click in Command Prompt to paste. Type this command to navigate to the directory where the icon cache is saved. Open Command Prompt with admin rights from Windows Search. To rebuild the icon cache, close all apps and windows. Sometimes, a recently installed third-party app may also interfere, as some users found with Google Drive.
Over time, this cache memory could get corrupted or deleted. Windows saves icon images as cache files to render them quickly when required, and without consuming too many resources. It is probably the last thing you can do. Open the Command Prompt with admin rights and type these two commands one at a time.ĭISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth The SFC scan will scan for corrupt system files and try to repair it. The DISM command will service the Windows image and repair irregularities with the system files. You may also try installing it from the source site directly instead of using the Windows Store. Maybe, the error is specific to some apps instead of being system wide? Updating apps didn’t work, did it? Try uninstalling the app and then reinstalling it from the Windows Store. Reinstall AppsĬan you see icons for some apps and not for others. If the problem persists, you will have to find an alternative or contact Google Drive support staff. If so, download a fresh copy of the app and try installing it again. Several users have reported that uninstalling Google Drive from their computer helped resolve the issue. When everything is updated, reboot your PC once and check if the icons reappear. If not, I would suggest you check manually once. Mostly, you will see a number there if updates are found. Open Windows Store, click on Download, and updates icon on the upper right. Since this error is related to app icons, I would recommend updating apps to see if that resolves the missing or blank icons error. Under Windows Update tab on the left, you will find any updates that are pending to be downloaded or installed on your PC. Open Settings and click on Update & Security.
You know that’s the first thing we suggest. There are a few solutions I found that should help. While it is not something major that will affect the functioning of your Windows 10 OS or any app that you are using, it can still be frustrating, especially when you want to launch an app or open a folder from your desktop. But some Windows 10 users see blank icons on their Windows 10 desktop. They make life simpler and help companies create brands. Icons are there to help us recognize an app and distinguish between different shortcuts and folders, so we can click on the one we need without wasting too much time reading the text instead.
