This video tutorial is about "
Icons not showing in windows 10 search".
Method 1: Enabling Save taskbar thumbnail previews
For this particular issue, the most popular fix is to ensure force your operating system to start saving taskbar thumbnail previews. According to most affected users, this procedure will end up forcing Windows 10 to display the correct icon when you search for an application using the start menu.
Keep in mind that this setting we are going to modify is disabled by default and you’ll need to operate a change from the System Properties menu. Here’s a quick guide on how to do this:
1. Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Then, type “sysdm.cpl” and press Enter to open up the System Properties menu.
2. Inside the System Properties menu, go to the Advanced tab and click on the Settings button associated with the Performance section.
3. Inside the Performance Options menu, go to the Visual Effects tab, set the toggle to Custom.
4. Then, check the box associated with Save taskbar thumbnail previews and hit Apply to save the changes.
5. Restart your computer and see if the icon issue has been resolved..
Method 2: Changing the icon scale
Some affected users have managed to fix this issue by changing the icon scale to 150%. The default value is 100%, but don’t worry – Even if you don’t like the new size, you can then revert to the default value (after the fix was applied) and it will remain fixed.
Here’s a quick guide on changing the icon scale in order to fix the broken start icons:
1.Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Inside the box, type “ms-settings:easeofaccess-display” and hit Enter to open the Display tab of the Settings app.
2. Inside the Display tab, scroll down to the Make everything bigger tab and change the drop-down menu under Change the size of apps to 100%.
3. Restart your computer.
4. Once the next startup is complete, see if the icons are displaying correctly.
Note: Regardless of the outcome (if this fix was successful or not) you can return to the Display tab and change the size of the apps back to 100%.
