Have you solved your issues with X’s appearing on your Windows icons? What solution worked for you to get rid of them? Let us know in the comments below. Now you know what advice to give if someone asks you, What does the X on icons mean in Windows?
Thankfully, there’s a solution for every case. These can range from cloud-based connectivity issues to refreshing icons. X’s appearing on Windows icons is a common problem that users may experience for various reasons. How much time must pass for the X’s to return depends on the app and the core issue. Keep in mind that if this solution doesn’t fix the issue, the X’s could reappear after some time. Reinstall the app according to the instructions on the product’s website.Īfter the app is reinstalled, the X’s should stay away.Click on “Uninstall” and follow the prompts to uninstall the app.Find the cloud-based app you use, and select it. Locate and select “Apps & features.” The icon will look like a bullet point list.Click on “Settings.” The icon will look like a gear.You can try uninstalling other cloud-based services if the connection is lost between the file and Google Drive or Dropbox. If you use cloud-syncing services other than OneDrive, you may also see X’s begin to appear on your icons. Generally, this connection stays open all the time unless there’s a disruption with your Internet access. Once the connection between the file and OneDrive is back, the X’s should begin to disappear from the icons. Open OneDrive again by right-clicking on the cloud icon in the taskbar.Choose a duration, then close OneDrive.Locate the OneDrive icon on the taskbar.To turn off OneDrive sync and then turn it back on, do the following. This will force the icons to recognize that OneDrive is updating. You can manually turn off OneDrive’s sync and turn it back on to re-establish a connection. You might see X’s on your icons if your file’s connection to OneDrive is not working. Once your computer finishes restarting, you can begin using your apps, and the X’s should have disappeared from the icons. This should delete the icon cache, and the cache will rebuild without any further action on your part. Find the file titled “IconCache.DB” and click on it.Copy and paste the following text: %LocalAppData%/.To delete your icon cache, take these steps. If this cache becomes corrupted, you may start seeing X’s on your icons, so you should delete the cache.
The OS will use this cache file whenever the icon is needed because it is faster to draw from the cache than the original application file. The icon cache is a database file where Windows stores pictures of the icon. Once you click Ok, the file will think its connection to an app is restored, and the X’s will disappear. The file thinks its connection to an app is broken when it just needs to be reminded that it’s still there. Technically, you’ll be tricking the file into thinking you’re changing a setting without changing anything when you change the opening app. Once the icons are refreshed, the X’s should disappear. From the list of options, select refresh.Trying to find if there's a difference between an orange and a red dot, or if it's just an artefact of the colour of the background image that makes it look red.
