Right click on your desktop, create a new text file.
Paste:
@echo off taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows del /f /s /q Explorer\iconcache*.* del /f /s /q Explorer\thumbcache*.* Start explorer.exe
This will end the explorer process (the one that shows you the graphical user interface / Desktop), clean your icon and thumbnail cache and restart the explorer.
Rename the created .txt file to .bat and run it. If you can’t see the file extension (e.g. .txt), open an explorer window (e.g. “My Computer”), click “view”, then click “show”, then click “show file extensions”.
This should usually do the trick, if a reboot doesn’t help.
