Literally not an issue

[Axlefublr]

I will LITERALLY suck you off right now.

I crawled on walls trying to solve fucking windowsapps for multiple hours, and you know what fixed it? Your script!

Not windows with its billion "fix it!" apps, troubleshooting, I even REINSTALLED windows only to be met with the issue still staying the same.

How???????

Essentially, thank you SO MUCH if you're interested in trans girls I will LITERALLY suck you off

Have a good life, rain should fall anywhere but on you, as you're a GOD that SAVED ME and I will literally pray to your existence

Oh my god thank you so much. This has been plaguing me for months. I couldnt even open stuff like Windows Terminal without going directly to /WindowsApps and opening the exe.

Now if you could only solve some icons being replaced by the xnview icon, my computer would be perfect.

[AgentRev]

@root-reindeer-flotilla By experience, aside from file associations, icon issues can come from 2 other things; icon overlays, or shell extensions.

Icon overlays can be tweaked with this tool: https://github.com/larspehrsson/ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers/releases

Shell extensions can be tweaked with this tool (Options > Filter By Extension Type > Icon Handler, Icon Overlay Handler): https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html#DownloadLinks

Both of those programs don't show anything about XnView. I've tried refreshing the icon cache multiple ways. Strangely this only does this when searching for programs but not on the program list when you open the start menu.

Thanks for trying though. I'm stubbornly against reinstalling windows.

[AgentRev]

@root-reindeer-flotilla Hmm, I stumbled upon this, maybe worth a look: https://superuser.com/questions/1319157/some-windows-10-uwp-icons-not-displaying-on-search-or-in-settings

And, if all else fails: https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu

[root-reindeer-flotilla]

@AgentRev I'll try that, thanks.

+1 ⬆ Just to bump this, I love you so fucking much, this literally saved my life. I have just finished a full windows reinstallation two weeks ago, and wanted to change an app's icon (more specifically, Spotify's icon on the taskbar), messed with the permissions a little bit (all I did was changed the owner of WindowsApp folder to Everyone and turned on child inheritance), and even after that, Windows wouldn't let me change the icon. So I just gave up, won't change the icon anymore but then everything broke, can't even open any (MSstore) apps anymore. Every website, every forum, every "solution" on Google tells me to reinstall windows by wiping the entire C: disk. Like this is a fresh system that I *just* finished setting up, everything is done, all the settings are configured properly, like no I am not doing another windows reinstall any soon. Then found a link to this github on a sketchy blog website, literally saved my life. THANK. YOU. SO. MUCH. If a trans girl is sucking you off already, make that two trans girls gonna suck you off. You should have a buymeacoffee so that we can support you for this!

PS: Also, if anyone knows how to change the taskbar icon for a MSstore app, please tell me how without fucking up this whole thing again. Thx! 💜💜

omg another trans girl? hahahahha sis we're gonna start a harem as things stand now

[Seedmanc]

Is it a prerequisite to start transition for this script to work? 'Cause I fucked up my OS beyond salvation, apparently.

[quincynyan]

@Axlefublr When you're googling this deep into a really obscure windows question, youre either a lifeless middle aged man working in a small computer store, or you're a trans furry girl who uses linux but stuck with windows for some reason (and yet, linux users know more about windows than windows users XD)

[quincynyan]

@Seedmanc You need those programming socks (search them up on google) before you can run the script, or else it won't fix your problem. Estrogens are optional but they help run the script faster.

Buy thigh highs and try again, should work

That's so true!!! I'm on linux now too lol. You can probably guess which distro by the abbreviation "btw"

Only thing left is to become a furry (because I already build stuff with rust)

Omg ahahahahaha we had the same exact joke in mind (tbf it's almost not a joke seeing how accurate it often is lol)

@Axlefublr omg hey I'm also another arch user (KDE Plasma btw), thinking of trying out Debian but don't know how to copy/replicate the Plasma theme from arch to deb. also still trying to find a way to backup dotfiles to github :3

Also, @AgentRev if you have any experience with this, pls halp

@quincynyan I haven't personally tried, but this seems like it could do the trick: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70413031/change-the-taskbar-icon-for-windows-store-apps

I actually have a lot to say a lot about this! Message me on discord (axlefublr) so we can stop terrorising this issue lol

[quincynyan]

@AgentRev Thx! Do you think the method of

renaming the app folder by adding -old at the end, making a copy of the folder, and renaming the copy back to the original name.

will work? I have modified the exe file to have its icon changed but can't copy it back to the WindowsApp folder.
