Tile icons missing from start page in Windows 10

This started happening recently, the tiles in my start menu are missing icons, but show the correct alt-text and link to the correct programs.

Screenshot of my start page

My Windows version/build is: Version 10.0.15063 Build 15063

I've tried to fix this using this, restarting the Windows Explorer process, and deleting iconCache.db. But these only last so long before the issue crops up again.

This only happens for the 'Pinned Tiles' page. The 'All apps' page displays all the tiles and their respective icons correctly.

Any help would be appreciated.


Solution 1:

After a little digging and experimentation from various sources, I found that saving this as a .bat file and running it works (found on a Microsoft answers page)

@echo off
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
taskkill /f /im shellexperiencehost.exe
timeout /t 3 /NOBREAK > nul
del %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\TempState\* /q
timeout /t 2 /NOBREAK > nul
start explorer
@echo on

One day into fix now, issue has not resurfaced so far.

Edit: As of 05-Oct-2017, the issue has not resurfaced. Hope this helps someone in a similar boat
