Steam Icons blank on desktop after fresh windows 10 re-install.

All steam icons on desktop are blank after reinstalling windows 10

So I got a new mobo and cpu and reinstalled my windows. I have 6 total drives and obviously the steam file on the C: drive got deleted during the reinstall.

I reinstalled Steam and when I go to put shortcuts on my desktop from steam, they are all blank white pages.

I've noticed that my steam/steam/game folder has no icons in there.

I've checked to make sure that .url files are defaulted to "internet browser"

I've rebuilt my icon cache for windows 10 multiple times and no luck. Also rebooted after the rebuilds.

Also I have verified my local files in steam for games and that doesn't work either.

I have a lot of games and don't want to have to go through manually editing all of the icons on the desktop.

Windows 10 OS Build 19041.985

This is the only option available for .url files. I have that and "search microsoft store" which leads to a blank page.

I've deleted and readded then multiple times with no luck. I feel it's something more with steam than windows at this point as it seems the icon cache had been rebuilt successfully.

Have you used Steam client settings to add your game folders to it's Library?
