Desktop Icons problem.
This is a minor problem that is annoying me intensely so I would be very grateful for assistance.in solving. My laptop operates with Windows 10 with all the latest updates. A couple of days ago the quick start icons on my desktop suddenly all changed to plain white. I fiddled around and by luck managed to restore most. Two of them are, however giving me a problem in that they are now appearing as a bluish globe and it is for these I need help.
When I try to restore theses two previous icons by right clicking on the globes and selecting "Properties" followed by "Change Icon" etc, they revert to the globe. I am, however, able to replace the globes by using other icons though not with the two I have been using for a couple of years or so without a hitch. They are both for opening websites, one of which is for Youtube, though this is perhaps of no significance to the problem. The other point, which may be of more significance, is that I keep the Icons for these and other sites in a Documents file. I don't use Icons from Windows Icon cache file.
Could the original Icons have been corrupted by the recent incident but, if so, why only these two and why, as a matter of interest, do they use the globe?
