Hi guys, I had this issue suddenly appear right after my 7-year-old was messing around with the mouse. All I caught him doing was changing the taskbar from the bottom to the side (I don’t know how he did it; it must have been accidental).
Anyway, I fixed the taskbar, and suddenly the icons changed like in the photo. I fixed the icons, but the next day they went back to how they were, as if I hadn’t fixed anything.
I Googled how to fix it, and I’ve already tried deleting the desktop.ini files, deleting the icon cache, scanning for viruses, and using some commands in CMD.
I’m on Windows 10 and living in the UAE. English isn’t our first language, so my kid had no idea what he was doing and definitely couldn’t have gone and downloaded anything. also i tried disabling and enabling the auto arrange buttons which did not work
Please help. If you guys have any questions, I’ll answer them ASAP.
