Hi all,
Wondering if anyone else has experienced an icon display issue on their start menu with the 1607 update?
I have just clean installed (and fully updated) the 1607 Anniversary Update on 2 PC's and both are experiencing an identical issue with their start menu. The problem whilst seemingly minor is especially annoying given that I have performed the updates for some friends and it is a matter of pride to me that I hand over any such systems in a perfect state.
The Start Menu program list (A - Z list) as well as the "most used" and "recently added" lists contain icon tiles for the installed programs. On both systems around 25% of these tiles display a generic "blank page" image rather than the icon image associated with that program. That said the tile in question opens it's associated program and it's text label also displays correctly.......as I said earlier an annoying niggle!
By now you are all thinking ah its a icon cache failure just rebuild the icon cache!! I have of course rebuilt the icon cache following the instructions contained in option 2 of the tutorial here
www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5645-icon-cache-rebuild-windows-10-a.html as well as deleting the C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\IconCache.db file neither of which corrects the issue.
Additionally, I have manually, refreshed several of the icons (right click button tile > more > open file location) by changing and then reverting the .ico file through properties. This makes the image display correctly but only until the pc is restarted?
There is a seemingly random pattern to the shortcut locations concerned with many of those shortcuts which reflect the icon image in the tile button appearing in the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder whilst others reflect the user profile (C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs) or one of the sub folders associated with the program(s) in question.
The affected icon tiles include several of the Office 2016 suite (e.g. Word, Access, PowerPoint etc.) the Adobe Suite (e.g. Photoshop, LightRoom, Dreamweaver etc.) as well as various standalone programs such as LogMeIn and some of the Windows Accessories.
Has anyone any suggestions on how to remedy the issue?
