Creating a new user profile didn't fix anything either.

It just seems very strange that doing a re-install and not keeping any apps still didn't fix the issue. Though since build 15002 I've had...

After doing an install where I only kept my documents, not apps, there's nothing installed in the context menus. But, yes I've disabled everything previously in the context menus.

In Process...

I should have added those to my list of things I've tried.

I have the SysInternals suite installed and have run both procmon and proc explorer and couldn't find anything unusual.

I've already...

I have one machine running 15014 (for some reason it hasn't downloaded 15019 yet even though I'm on the Fast Ring) - the machine has shown this problem since 15002. Essentially explorer.exe uses...

Thanks - I'm actually still re-indexing at the moment. Based on your comments, I did find something I didn't know. "All Users" AppData folder is actually just ProgramData - see this: ...

Yep - I used that exact method from here to deal with the icon cache. I'll see if rebuilding the index helps.

I can see the all apps list, but most (not all) desktop app icons are missing.

I'm currently running Build 10130. For some reason, when I view "All Apps" I have folders for my desktop apps, but nearly all of the icons for the apps themselves are missing.

I have tried the...
