No icons on explorer, desktop, taskbar and everywhere

Hi everyone,
I really need your help. I've searched all over the internet and tried every possible tutorial and command I could find: deleted the iconcache.db, ran sfc / scannow, and followed several other fixes that claim to restore missing icons.

As you can see, it’s not just the desktop icons — all system icons are gone. They don’t show up in File Explorer, the sidebar, or even the taskbar. Only the text labels remain, but the icons themselves are completely missing.

If anyone knows a way to restore them without having to format or reinstall Windows, I’d really appreciate it. I’m currently very busy with work and can’t afford to reset my whole system right now.

My PC is fully updated — BIOS, Windows, and all software are up to date. I’ve scanned with Malwarebytes and Windows Defender, and neither found any issues or malware.

Since I’ve run out of options, I’m reaching out to see if anyone has encountered this problem and found a working solution.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice!
