Question Windows 10 big icons get pixelated

[steamvolger]

Hello everyone
how are you doing?

i have an issue with windows 10 it also happens in windows 7 and 8

problem is that some big icons get small and pixelated and some do not if i rename the icon it gets fixed but after a couple of minutes it is pixelated again some times it does't happen for a day but it always eventually happens

you will understand more in the pictures

this is before it happens

This is after a couple minutes it happens

i think it may possibly be a virus maybe it happens when i run a specific applications because sometimes it does not happen for a whole day but then it happens again i dont want to be resetting the icons everyday soo how can i fix this any thoughts on what it can be?

How are you able to see the issue across 3 OS's? Mind sharing with us what version of Windows 10 you're currently on and where you sourced your installers for the OSes?

i upgraded from 7 to 8 to 10 and i left the same files and same programs untouched some i re installed but in general i did not format the pc that is why i suspect it may be a virus

Mind sharing with us what version of Windows 10 you're currently on

windows 10 2004

Likely corruption in the icon cache. Rebuild the cache.
