方法七：重置图标缓存^{(Method 7: Reset Icon Cache)}

我们在 Windows 10 计算机上使用的所有应用程序和文件图标^{(application and file icons)}的副本都存储在名为IconCache.db的^{(IconCache.db)}数据库文件^{(database file)}中。将所有图标图像存储在单个缓存文件^{(cache file)}中有助于Windows在需要时快速检索它们。它进一步防止PC变慢。如果图标缓存数据库^{(icon cache database)}损坏，Windows 10任务栏图标将丢失或任务栏^(Taskbar)开始全屏显示。或任务栏^(Taskbar)开始全屏显示。因此^{(..

2. 输入给定的命令^(command)来更改您的位置，然后按 Enter 键^{(Enter key)}。

cd %homepath%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer

3. 现在，输入dir iconcache* 并按Enter 键^(Enter)检索图标缓存数据库^{(cache database)}文件列表。

注意：^{(Note: )}在我们删除和重置图标缓存^{(icon cache)}之前，我们需要暂时终止文件资源管理器进程^{(File Explorer process)}。

4. 因此，输入taskkill /f /im explorer.exe 并点击Enter。

注意：^(Note:)任务栏和桌面^{(Taskbar and Desktop)}将消失。但不要惊慌，因为我们会在删除缓存文件后恢复它们。

5. 接下来执行del iconcache*命令删除现有的IconCache.db 文件^{(IconCache.db file)}，如下图所示。

6.最后，执行explorer.exe命令重启explorer进程，如图。^(restart)

7. Windows 操作系统^{(Windows OS)}将自动为应用程序图标创建一个新数据库，并将任务栏^(Taskbar)图标恢复原位。
