    Win 11 desktop webpage favicons disappear


    I have a new computer that has Windows 11. I've spent over a week slowly moving things over from my old Windows 10 computer. I've had a lot of issues, but I finally have everything stable. The one issue that keeps coming up is desktop favicons. I have about 20 web pages that I use regularly for my work. Having a desktop shortcut with the correct website favicon on the shortcut is very helpful. To create a website shortcut I use tools...-pin to taskbar. I then right-click and hold shift on the pinned taskbar icon and click "create a shortcut". This is where the fun begins. Sometimes I get

  2. Restore Missing Favicons (icons under My Favorites bookmarks): I landed on a solution

    Thanks for your reply. The favicons were originally there in my computer. I had some problem with Internet Explorer 11 and in the online chat with an HP Support Agent he suggested that I do a Reset. That did not solve the issue but caused all items in the
    favorites list to disappear, and when I added them back they were without favicons for most sites.

    Based on your answer, does it mean that if I do nothing, eventually the favicons would still come back? In my past experience with other computers and operating systems, favicons had disappeared sometimes for reasons unknown to me but after a while then
    mysteriously reappeared. I still have not found any answer in the Internet that solves this problem in a systematic manner.

    Microsoft Edge Chromium - Favicons Have Disappeared

    I installed a Cumulative update for my 21H1 Windows x 64 bit on 15/9/21.

    The update is KB 5005565. It all went perfect, but on restart all my favicons have disappeared and are replaced by a colourless page image with a corner bent over.
    All the distinctive coloured icons have gone.

    This makes my favourite lists difficult to interpret when no specific icon is shown.

    When I click a favourite now the proper coloured icon appears again, but one or two favicons in a long list of blank "page" icons is useless.
    My Chrome favicons are still OK. If I export my Chrome favourites to Edge, will all matches refresh the Edge favicons ?

    Does anybody know a fix for this fault ?

    App favicons disappeared

    I had to (at least try to) do a System Restore on my Windows 11 (upgraded from W10) laptop. I found that many of my apps' favicons had vanished. When I right-click on the Apps List entry, all I see is an "Unpin from Start" command and nothing else (that is, no "Run as Administrator" or "Run" commands). What might have happened? Do I have to uninstall them all, reboot and try again to install them, or is there an easier answer?

    Thank you.
