    Cortana search does not show icons for metro apps


    Hi everyone,

    I'm having a relatively annoying problem which I think should never happen in a good operating system. As the title already tells, the cortana search box does not display proper icon for all the metro apps or the modern settings as can be seen from the attached image. Moreover, Windows Explorer also does not display thumbnails for images which is extremely inconvenient if you want to select some images. This issue only occurs recently and there is no sign that it will just suddenly disappear any time soon.

    I'm using a domain account from my company with administrative rights. On the local account that I created myself everything works absolutely fine. So, I wonder if it is the domain account that causes trouble. I've tried every solution I could find on the Internet without success.

    I would be very helpful if you guys can help me solve the problem

    Hi, check this option is not ticked:

    Is the Mail shortcut icon in the start menu displayed correctly?

    Hi there, I have a similar imperfection which showed up upgrading to creators pack 2. When I search for Window store apps, (i.e. Mail, Calculator, Feedback, Edge) with Cortana, I always get blank icons. The app icons appear if I dock them to start or to task bar and they all work. It's only the icon that is missing when I search.

    I have tried rebuilding search index, reinstalling whatever apps I can actually reinstall (like mail) and what was suggested above, but it does not fix it. Any ideas?

    I have reported it to Microsoft via feedback app, but wondering if anyone else has been able to manually fix it.
