    Square icon - missing search bar icons


    Hello
    delete icon cache, delete font cache, SFC, DISM didn't work.
    Segoe Symbols replaced and it doesn't work either.

    It's not first time, when Windows 10 show's this idiot square, on another computer I had a similar problem with the logout icon in start :/

    It's not clear to me exactly where you're seeing that. It looks like File Explorer? Give us clues where they appear.

    (I thought at first "How to fix this missing icons?" might be the name of a file, but "?" is not allowed in a filename.)

    It's only in explorer.exe in explorer search bar.

    The icons OP is referring to are magnifying glass, X and right pointing arrow.

    Try the .reg file here to restore all Segoe system font variations to defaults:

    To Restore Default System Font in Windows 10

    (and then restart computer)
