As the title says, all of my icons are suddenly missing (Windows Explorer, Registry, Task Manager). Only metro icons in the start menu are showing

This is my current situation: No icons Additionally, I can't open any file or folder properties

Things I've tried:

  • restarted windows
  • deleted icon cache
  • scanned with sfc /scannow
  • scanned with Malwarebytes
  • repaired SageThumbs
  • disabled Stardock Fences

Even in safe mode the problem still occurs. Also tested with another freshly created local user - still the same

  • At this point, your solution solution, is to try and Reset your installation. – Ramhound Apr 09 '16 at 17:30

    Could you check with another user account? See [similar Q/A](http://superuser.com/questions/1020219/only-icons-missing-from-desktop) where it was caused by corrupted user profile. – miroxlav Apr 09 '16 at 17:35
  • @miroxlav I have already tried that (see last sentence), didn't work – Felix Bernhard Apr 09 '16 at 17:42

I finally had to do an "in-place upgrade" of Windows 10. 20 minutes later everything is back to normal, programs and settings weren't touched. The icons are back again, yay!
