Ask a question
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.
