Icon Images Missing
Hey guys. I’m new to the whole forum business, so I’m afraid I’m going to require a bit of tolerance, hand-holding and general pointing in the right direction. If my problem has been covered elsewhere, I do apologise, but just point me at it.
The scenario: an Intel i5 laptop running Windows 10 Pro (upgraded from Windows 7 Pro) with four user profiles, one for each member of the family. A reasonably able user who was once a Microsoft Certified Professional, back when Windows NT 4 was big news.
The problem: in two of the profiles, all icons (desktop and otherwise) suddenly began showing titles only and no images. There aren’t even placeholders where the images/thumbnails should be. Image files will not show thumbnails of the images and require third-party software to view.
What I’ve tried:
· Toggling view settings in Explorer. No go.
· Deleting and rebuilding image cache files for the two profiles. No go.
I’m aware that there is a registry hack for this problem in Windows 7, but nothing similar crops up for Windows 10.
Any ideas? Again, if I’m covering well-trodden ground here I do apologise, but I’m at my wits’ end.
