Application Icons changed to Unknown icon.

[Imrankhan]

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on Dell XPS 15 L502x Notebook.

Today morning when i switched on my laptop, I found some of the Icon changed to unknown icon.(See Attachements)

I searched google i found somewhere a question was posted with same problem. The solution was given as to change the destination of the target exe file. I performed it by renaming the folder in which the exe file is present. I found that the icon changed back to original icons from unknown-icon.

Also when i right click and select properties of those exe files, the original icon of the application appears there, but not in explorer / desktop / taskbar.:shock:

I am posting this question here to troubleshoot my problem.
Dont ask me to reinstall all applications and software. I have already done it and but the icon remains as Unknown until i change its destination from its original destination. Even avast icon changed to unknown.(see image) But i cant change its destination to check for its reappearance because it is always open when i start system.

Why this destination(Target path) of the exe file affect the original icon of the application.

Also guide me how to attach image in my post

Also, download and install CCleaner. Then run it.
Go to "Tools" .... by default it will open the "uninstall" tab.
Click on save as text file. Save it on your desktop.
Upload the text file for us.

If you care to follow the Post #3, I may have a look.

 

[Layback Bear]

Arc when you get time later could you pm me. I would like to know how you get those nice rectangles and arrows like in post #3.

@Arc, or can you perhaps post for everyone? I have to post shots quite a bit due to my lack of not knowing the correct terms,etc. to get my point across, but between my age (over the hill) & a nerve condition, my hands tend to shake so my free hand lines end up a mess.

Thank you,

HI Friends,

In my Laptop (Dell Inspiron 15), with Windows 8.1 64 bit OS, i see some unknown icons in deskop. When I type cmd in run prompt, i am getting "Interface not in support". No double click action. I have to restart and it is resolved. Later some time, the same issue arises...
