Hello!

I have read through the whole web about a solution for my problem, and have tried about everything I have found so far, but nothing helps me. I really hope someone can help me :)

The problem I got is that all the standard app icons on my PC is all blank pages.. Apps like: Store, photos, calculator, settings, alarm & clock etc.)

The apps work fine and all, but when I open my D: drive and open the folders with my pictures, the preview is also a blank page. I have tried to
go into "view" in the folder an enable so I can see the preview, but it wont work.

The white blank page shown on the picture is not from my PC, on mine its like this only on standard WIndows apps.
All the apps I have downloaded which where not standard on the PC are all fine.

Tried to delete the icon.cache, delte it and restart explorer.exe.. etc nothing works

Think this problem have been on the PC since I built it back in november.

Thanks in advance for any help!! :)

It could be corrupted system files

right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth and press enter
SFC fixes system files, second command cleans image files (which are the files SFC uses to check the system files), re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC

If the problem has been there since you built PC, one fix could be a clean install of win 10 as there could be other functions not working that should be. Naturally, its easier to do one if you know you have to, and PC still works, as opposed to having PC die and being forced to lose info. This lets you plan ahead and...
