Simpler put,
The Repair Install only effects Windows 10 system files,, and reinstalls all the default Universal Apps(or "Modern").
It does not touch anything you added.
If you use another Anti-Virus other than Windows Defender, it is recommended to turn it off before attempting the Repair Install, as it could cause problems.
it seems i got a virus that corrupted some file association and filetype icons
have done all the steps in this thread, and restarted after eachone, and still got blank icons for doc/docx/xls/xlsx/ppt/pptx / pdf
what cant i do
Hello ifathy, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)
If you like, you could do a system restore using a restore point dated before this happened to undo it. Be sure that you system is still clean afterwards though.
System Restore Windows 10
I uninstalled and reinstalled one of the programs that had the blank Icon and they all came back.
Thanks for this.
Option 1 did not work, option 2 did.
Thank you
