November Win10 Update caused Office 2016 icons and others to disappear
This was a pretty odd thing especially considering the effect. In the normal Startup or on the task-bar the icons for each program are where I put them and look and work normally.
However, on my desktop itself, they only show up as white squares. The names are there but the colored pictures are missing for all Office applications and a couple of others but many of the rest are displayed normally.
If I try to drag one out to the desktop from startup as i normally can, it look fine until I release it. As soon as it hits the desktop, it turns to a white square like the other one ad shows the (2) indicating it is a 2nd copy of the shortcut.
These odd "blank" icons do work as they should and open the programs they should open. They just don't display normally
Out of about 20 or more different systems that got the November update this is the only one having this issue, a DELL Laptop. My call to Dell Tech support only gave me the solution of a full System Restore which is a bit overkill as all I need to know is why the icons don't display properly on the desktop. Nothing else is wrong, everything works fine.
