Recommended Section of Start Menu showing blank icons

Hello Johnny,
Unfortunately this has also been my problem ever since day 1 of installing Windows 11, happening on my main PC and my mother's laptop.
I have tried everything, sfc, DISM, even disabling "Fast Startup", all to no avail.
Windows 11 22H2 has only mitigated the issue, as it allowed me to decrease the number of recommended files on my Start Menu to just two side by side, however, one of them always appears as a blank icon.
You cannot imagine how much this issue bothers me, especially the fact that, throughout the web, this is not a frequent issue Windows 11 users report, with the your exception that is.
Naturally, the fact that Windows 11 is already 1 year and some months old and Microsoft has appeared to do nothing concerning this as it is too focused on changing the look of the Search icon on the taskbar and on other useless gimmicks also bothers me a lot.
Kind regards,
Gonçalo Pinto

I still have this issue on 22H2. I previously got an answer in the Feedback Hub that it got fixed but apparently it's not. No idea how hard it is to fix this.
