Hey, I've had this issue a ridiculous amount of times now and every time I've had to reset, this is the second time it has happened within a 3 month period. I have no idea how to describe it besides "Every icon on my computer corrupted", the only solution I've found that has ever worked is resetting my pc if anyone knows a way of fixing/preventingthis from happening in the future please tell me.

Those problems are big issues and if it wasn't solved by fixing the image as above, then please consider making a clean install, start fresh then restore your files and data. Please let me know if I can help any further.. Farah 0 comments No comments Report By "non worked" do you mean the commands finished without any errors?

I tried to fix boot problems and it was unable to, my only option now is to use a restore point (which I already have earlier today) or reset. 0 comments No comments Report Hello Farah, none of these worked and the latter has now made me unable to login to my computer.

If any errors comes along, please provide me with the error number.

I think there is a bigger problem than just the icon cache as I can't open file properties either. 0 comments No comments Report Hi Farah, this solution didn't work.
