Build 23493 is out to Dev Channel Insiders

@PaulChou,

Did you file an FBH report for this problem?

I got the same issue on one of my Dev Builds 23493.1000 right after a reboot, but after I hit refresh the icons repopulate correctly.

I followed the suggestion and deleted the C:\Users*Username*AppData\Local\IconCache.db and the problem is now fixed.

After I hit refresh the icons repopulate correctly:

I could reproduce the problem once when I used Copilot. When it opens the copilot sidebar it rearranges all the icons on the desktop and it seems to corrupt the IconCache.db. 🤷‍♂️

here are my screenshoots. before and after. Before is left and after is right.

Did you try deleting the IconCache.db?

That seems to be a common suggestion for the problem of blank desktop icons.

here are my screenshoots. before and after. Before is left and after is right.

Sometime yesterday evening or today, my new Settings with Home page + shortcuts has disappeared.

Just got the old Settings page again.

Short time short cuts...?

Yes you are correct I am still missing RunAsPPLBoot. 🤷‍♂️

I was attempting to wait for MS to apply their correction, rather than use one of yours (ours), but it has been a long wait and I am vacillating on which way to go. It's 5 months now since it started and MS appear very uninterested. After telling us it is important not to use any other workaround as they are working on a fix?

I have never seen so much inconsistency as with the Security updates.

They never have any explanation about what the changes are doing, and every time they release a new KB5007651 there is a new screwup. 😜🤷‍♂️

This is the latest (2306) I got on one system and still does not work correctly. 🤐
