I then decided to just reinstall all the games even if it would takes ages but after attempting to reinstall one of the games i realised the new game shortcut icon is also blank :\Īlso all the icons seem to be looking in system32 and the shell32.dll file rather than steam idk why. I then looked up a bunch of stuff and tried rebuilding icon cache, verifying games files integrity, doing some stuff in command prompt like sfc scan but none fixed the issue. also some icons in the game folder were slightly different from the actual old shortcut icon so kinda annoying. I did replace some icons by finding them in the folder but i realised they are still blank in the start menu and if i look at the shortcuts properties its still blank and it felt like a cheap solution that didnt properly fix it. I noticed all the icons on my desktop were still blank so i deleted the icons and right clicked the game in steam and created a new shortcut but they were still blank. so i added the 2tb hard drives library folder to steam and all my games were now seen as installed on steam. when i downloaded steam back i found all the games on my 2tb hard drive were still there and only my C drive games got cleared. When the reset finished i noticed all the icons on my desktop were blank and assumed they would restore when i reinstalled everything. So the other day i reset my Windows 10 but without deleting personal files.
