Icons are missing from start menu when a shortcut points to source that was disconnected during boot up.
Icons are not restored even if the source is later connected (and successfully started from start menu).
Icons used to show when shortcut was initially added to start menu.
It appears that the start menu icons are checked during startup.
Perhaps keep the cached icons if the shortcut is broken and hence icon cannot be fetched.
Edit: Even though the shortcut icon is still missing from Start > All Programs, the icon is showing in the main "Start" menu, which displays frequently used programs.
Area of issue
Start menu
To reproduce
Create shortcut
Verify that icon is showing in start menu
Rename program's folder name (to simulate detached source)
Restart computer
Restore program's folder name (changed in step 3)
Notice that Icon remains blank
Expected behavior
Don't replace previously cached icons if shortcut is broken.
Edit: Even though the shortcut icon is still missing from Start > All Programs, the icon shows in the main "Start" menu, which displays frequently used programs.
