Anyone having this problem with random icons disappearing or changing into the default icon? I'm wondering if there's a fix like running a sfc /scannow or something. I'm on 19608 but I've been seeing this for few builds now.

Yep, I think it's been listed as a known issue for at least a couple builds. Icons go missing, or are displayed with an abnormal bit depth.

We’re investigating reports that app icons in the taskbar are having rendering issues, including defaulting to the .exe icon.

 

Indeed, been around for a while now... it is annoying! If you unpin the app (if its pinned) .. the icon comes back..... sometimes...... re-pinning the app to the taskbar, seems to work for a while at least, then you know what you are clicking on ;)

 

Fingers crossed, it gets sorted out soon!!

Mind boggling that a trillion dollar company can't develop an OS that properly displays icons.

True, however, i am assuming you are on an insider preview? So glitches like this are to be expected. Hence they do warn of potential issues with using pre-release builds... overall tho, i have had very few issues... but this one is annoying! The bane of wanting to be on the cutting edge... :D:D

Good point lol.

So, of course an hour after you posted this thread, they released a new build that fixes the issue.

We fixed an issue that was causing app icons in the taskbar to not display correctly, including defaulting to the .exe icon. This issue may have also caused some Insiders to have more reliability issues with explorer.exe.

On the Preview build I just got a Black screen then a constant loop of it trying to start, no error message. Guess it didn't like my graphics.      a new release will sort it I expect.

What are your system specs? My updates went through perfectly, the installation was pretty quick as well.

Are you able to get it into safe mode at all, and review event logs?

    • The limited imaginations and business acumen of non-dominant players is simply that: the abject lack of creative business acumen. Businesses often want to operate in a financially-rewarding marketplace (free market economics) and/or exit/cash-out at maximal financial recompense. Money is their incentive; regulations are both their obstacles and their tools; politics is their means of influencing the marketplace. Google, in this story's example, is crying that AWS and Azure are "too dominant" -- cuz Google Cloud is not printing as much money as Alphabet wants (although it is still dramatically more than they actually need). The EU DMA should truly follow-the-money and treat the EU as its own sovereign nation in order to protect European market players: Domestic entities are exempt from market-influence regulations until absolute monopoly is achieved; Foreign (non-EU/non-Euro) entities are all regulated via stricter DMA measures whereby regulated partnership with independent domestic entity becomes the only way for foreign entities to 'tip the scale' for favorable financial remunerations. Basically create a dual-track aligning with China's foreign investment models. In my eyes, this is the only way to properly protect the European marketplace beyond the current dot-com/ai-bubble/social-media crazes.
