Windows 10 Quick Launch icons showing as 'blank page'

Attached is a picture of the Quick Launch bar on my windows 10 setup. The top image (I added red arrows) shows three of the icons as kind of ‘blank page’ icon. This happens every time I reboot. If I click on one, the icon shows up (look at the second picture, I clicked on the left most ‘blank page’ icon – it is the command prompt).

Anyone know how I can fix this so they show up after I boot?


The following should solve your problem:

To Rebuild the Icon Cache in the Command Prompt:

  1. Close and save anything that you are working on before proceeding. The next Steps will involve killing explorer and restarting the PC.
  2. Open an elevated command prompt.
  3. Copy and paste each command below one at a time into the command prompt, and press Enter after each command.

Note: The last command will instantly restart the PC.

  1. ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache
  2. taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
  3. DEL "%localappdata%\IconCache.db" /A
  4. shutdown /r /f /t 00
