Missing Icons in Start Menu shortcuts and Tiles
Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2018 10:46 am
Hello,
I have an issue with missing icons in my start menu shortcuts and tiles. As part of testing we isntall\re-install the different versions of our software many times. In the latest round of intstalls, I've noticed that when I remove\re-install, suddenly I have missing icons on my start menu tiles and in the start menu shortcuts and pinned taskbar items.
The shortcuts still work, but show only the blank document icon instead of the actual application icon. If I follow them to their folder location, they have the correct icon; which I would expect as I have not changed the installer code for these shortcuts. I haven't changed the icons used in the applications, and some of them are shortcuts to PDF files, which should be showing the Adobe icon (registered PDF viewer).
I was able to get the icon back on the Tiles by resizing them, then resizing it back. The start menu item refuses to show the correct icon, even after I went through the steps to delete and force Windows 10 to rebuild my icon cache.
These are the settings used when creating my shortcuts:
Anyone else having this issue? I am on Windows 10 (1709) but it's happened on the later Windows updates as well.
