Some icons in Task bar have lost the appropriate picture

Hi. First the icon for Settings changed from a wheel to a greyed square. Then, a few days later, Files changed to a darker grey icon. What is going on?

    This only seems to work for a couple of days then it happens again.  Windows 11 Pro, new laptop bought in the last 2 months.

  • Open CMD with administrator privileges, run taskkill /im explorer.exe /f & del /a /q "%localappdata%\IconCache.db" & start explorer to rebuild the icon cache, and you're back!
