Icons and thumbnails dissapeared
Hey,
I'm running out of ideas. All of my icons dissapeared yesterday for some unknown reason. On desktop there is just blank space where they should be, only the text description of each shortcut or file remains. No icons are showing in explorer either. The only place where I can see them is the start menu. Also the iconcache.db file is nowhere to be found.
What I've tried so far:
-fixing it with the .bat that should force windows to rebuild the file
-rebuilding the file with command prompt
-reverting windows to eariler date
-uninstalling yesterday's update (which couldn't be done btw., but reverting to last working state got rid of it apparently)
-done a complete scan for viruses and malware (nothing found)
-running the system file checker in cmd (it found some corrupted files and fixed them, but according to log nothing even remotly connected to icons or thumbnails)
-during all of that restarted pc probably 50 times just to be sure.
and that's about it. Any ideas what to try next? (aside from the obvious answer - reinstall windows)
