Blank White icon in Windows 8.1


Many of the icons in my Win 8.1 have become blank! I followed the instructions here, but nothing changed. I also did sfc /scannow, and everything was ok. How can I resolve the problem?


Edit: I guess my issue is due to uninstalling ObjectDesktop. It might have removed an important DLL


Answer



I contacted ObjectDesktop, and got this solution:


Access your System Registry (XP - Start-> Run, Vista/7/8 - WinKey +R) and in the run box type regedit. Then go to the following Key;


HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\IconHandler


On the right side of the screen, if it has a value of {611AD258-4138-4348-A534-9856FA6BA398} you need to rename that registry key from 'IconHandler' to something else, IconHandlerX works. Then reboot your PC and the Icons should come back.
