The icons on my desktop are invisible, however, when I press F5 they show correctly for about 0.1 seconds before disappearing again.
When I run the following batch script downloaded from How to Rebuild the Icon Cache in Windows...
@echo off
set iconcache=%localappdata%\IconCache.db
echo The Explorer process must be killed to delete the Icon DB.
echo.
echo Please SAVE ALL OPEN WORK before continuing.
echo.
pause
echo.
If exist "%iconcache%" goto delID
echo.
echo Icon DB has already been deleted.
echo.
pause
exit /B
:delID
echo Attempting to delete Icon DB...
echo.
ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache
taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
del "%iconcache%" /A
del "%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\iconcache*" /A
echo.
echo Icon DB has been successfully deleted. Please "restart your PC" now to rebuild your icon cache.
echo.
start explorer.exe
pause
exit /B
Everything works great until my computer is rebooted.
The icons in file explorer (when I browse the files on my computer) display correctly and seem completely unaffected at all times. So, of course, the issue is only with my desktop icons.
I also followed the How to increase Icon Cache size in Windows 10/8/7 tutorial but nothing seems to have changed (even after rebooting).
How do I permanently fix this annoying problem?
