Hey all -
My wife did something that caused all her icons to disappear. I went into settings and turned them all back on, but they still aren’t showing up. I checked to make sure she wasn’t in tablet mode, and that’s not the culprit either.
Any suggestions?
It seems very odd that all of them vanished. It’s possible that it’s a corrupt icon cache.
You can use the following script to reset the icon cache.
Create a new text file - save it with the file extension .bat
Right click on the file - run as administrator.
@echo off
taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
timeout /t 3
cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
attrib IconCache.db -r -a -s -h
del IconCache.db /F
cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer
del iconcache* /F
pause
start explorer.exe

I’ll try that, thanks.
If she is using Desktop Fences she may just need to double click an empty section of the desktop.
She’s not. I’m not familiar with it.
