Question Xbox Game Pass - White Desktop icons?

[slipd83]

Hi guys,

Anyone having issues with white Windows icon of their Xbox Game Pass games appearing on their desktop?

It appears to happen after a game update through the Xbox app or an Xbox app update via the Store.

I found this fix on Reddit but it's annoying to keep having to do it...

Thanks.

What version(not edition) of Windows 11 are you on? If you have an update, I'd advise moving forward with said update. Perhaps see if a BIOS update is also pending for your platform.

I would look into these as a last resort;

Thanks for the reply! The weird thing is, if it is icon cache, why does it only affect the Xbox app and the games that are installed from it?

I've had icon cache issues before, mainly on Win 10 and I've always been able to fix it with a script.
