I just reinstalled Windows and made a registry change to delete the app shortcuts. It functions properly now. After each restart, they revert back to black squares.

Occasionally it does. It’s not a perfect reason, but it seems the system just struggles with input... Windows might be dyslexic sometimes. /shrug

No, there are no alternatives to deleting the registry key.

Check if any registry entries reference Shell32.dll and ensure they point correctly.

Seems unclear. Likely not what you intended. The registry path and value details appear to be specific, possibly for troubleshooting purposes.

Can you try the following? 1. Open Command Prompt as an administrator 2. Type regsvr32 /u Shell32.dll 3. Type regsvr32 Shell32.dll tell me what happens if you get a warning in any of the steps.

I'm not at home, so I can't check how it looks. It's possible the settings aren't correct.
