Windows occasionally loses track of icons and links unexpectedly.
Windows occasionally loses track of icons and links unexpectedly.
in my start menu two icons for programs disappeared and were replaced with a generic one... when I opened the tile it displayed the right icon for some but not others. It also reported it couldn't locate a program when I tried to change its icon, even though the folder was open and the correct placement existed. The issue seemed strange, so I removed the programs from start and reinserted them. It’s unusual, and I’m curious about how this occurred and whether there’s a way to stop it from happening again. I’ve checked all drives for errors, but nothing was found. Just to clarify, these are the icons/links I’m referring to—none were custom, and the other program wasn’t either.
