Xbox Game Pass - White Desktop icons?
Hi guys, Anyone having issues with white Windows icon of their Xbox Game Pass games appearing on their desktop? It appears to happen after a game update through the Xbox app or an Xbox app up...
This is a common Xbox app bug after game or app updates. To fix white desktop icons: 1. **Delete and recreate the shortcut** from the Xbox app (right-click game → Create desktop shortcut). 2. **Clear the Windows icon cache** by running `ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache` or restarting Explorer. 3. Make sure the **Xbox app and Gaming Services** are fully updated from the Microsoft Store. If it keeps happening, recreating the shortcut is the only reliable workaround until Microsoft patches the bug.
