Windows - Icon cache always corrupted

Issue
Solution

Issue

Several icons on my desktop are not displayed properly, I've tried to rebuilt the Icon cache , it worked for some time and then the same problem occurs.

Solution

Try to increase the size of the icon cache:

Click on Start > Run > regedit
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
Create a new String (REG_SZ) value and name it as Max Cached Icons
Set its value to 2400
Close the registry and restart your PC.
