I've run into a bit of a problem which I seem not to be able to solve. For a few times now some of my desktop shortcuts lose their appearance and turn to a blank, like: All the affected shortcuts point to programs located on my E: drive which is a sata attached SSD. All other shortcuts are OK. To correct this I have tried things I could find googling like: Restart explorer Disable table mode Run a SFC scan Update my display drivers Clear the icon cache Run DISM ans system file checker Nothing seems to help. The stupid thing is, when opening "properties" and select "change icon" the correct icon is already selected. It just doesn't show. Reselecting doesn't work either. Only thing that seems to work is delete the shortcuts and make a new ones. This last for a few weeks or so. Does anybody have a brilliant idea to solve this? TIA
