Okay, so recently my icons stopped working for absolutely no reason. I have tried everything and have looked everywhere for a solution.
Here is what I mean so there is no confusion as to what "Icons missing" is:

When I try to click on properties, it doesn't allow me to do so as shown here:

My file explorer seems to be affected as well::

I managed to trace it to my iconcache. It's missing?!

I have attempted to rebuild it over and over again, but it just doesn't (Yes, I've restarted my computer)
I've done everything, from running software to look for issues, letting windows look for issues and I even reset my computer. The reset did lead to a solution, but as I was downloading some starting apps - Google Chrome, Avira, VLC - after a restart everything went back to its previous state. I doubt the software I downloaded had anything to do with it. It's also important to note that I did not make full reset, just reset Windows itself and kept my files, pictures and movies. I also noticed this, I cannot open "Ultimate Windows Tweaker 4.2.2" maybe it could be part of the problem or maybe not. The only thing I've tweaked where the shortcut arrow removal, but I doubt that's the issue because I've had it for a good 2 months without issues. I hope I made myself clear, if you have any questions feel free to ask, I am desperate for help! Thank you.
