Preface
There are too many desktop softwares, which makes it a bit cluttered. After changing the monitor, I thought about classifying the desktop software and putting them in different directories. As a result, the icons of some software turned white after being put into folders and could not be restored. , it took some time to check some solutions, and finally found the most effective solution.
1. Reasons why software icons turn white
- Corrupted icons: Software icon files may be corrupted or missing, causing the operating system to be unable to display the icon's color and image correctly. This can happen if the software installation is incomplete or there is a problem with the file system.
- Operating system problems: Some operating systems may have errors or configuration issues that cause software icons to display abnormally. This could be related to the operating system's icon cache, or to an operating system update, settings change, etc.
- Theme or appearance settings: Certain desktop themes or appearance settings may affect the display of software icons. If you change your desktop theme or use a custom icon pack, it may cause your software icons to turn white or a different color.
- Display settings issue: Icon display may be affected by display settings. For example, if your display is set to black and white mode or low color mode, software icons may appear white or gray.
- Compatibility issues: Some software may be incompatible with specific operating systems or hardware, causing icons to display abnormally. This may be due to issues introduced by newer operating systems or software versions.
2. Solution
The following are common solutions:
- Reinstall the software: If only the icon of a certain software displays abnormally, you can try to reinstall the software to ensure that the installation process is complete and error-free.
- Clear icon cache: You can try clearing your operating system's icon cache so that the icons can be regenerated. The specific steps may vary depending on the operating system, you can search the Internet for relevant guides or tutorials.
- Restore default theme and settings: If you changed your desktop theme or appearance settings, you can try reverting to the default settings to see if that resolves the issue.
- Update operating system and software: Make sure your operating system and software are up to date to reduce possible compatibility issues.
Here I use clear icon cache to solve the problem
