    Windows Security Stuck on Sheild Icon


    Hiya, I've been having issues with Windows Security on Windows 11 when trying to load it it's getting stuck in the shield for a few moments then closing. It also isn't opening on start up showing in the system tray like it should do. I've tried steps from several of the other posts about this type of issue yesterday evening but non of them have worked and I can't recall all of the ones I tried. Please could someone help? My PC has installed the "Update for Windows Security platform - KB5007651 Version 10.0.27703.1006" today and it has still not resolved the issue.

    :)

    Remove yellow/blue sheild icon from shortcuts


    After upgrading to Windows 10, some desktop shortcuts have UAC shield icons. Is it possible to remove them?


    Windows Security Stuck on Sheild Icon 26944d1485953338t-remove-yellow-blue-sheild-icon-shortcuts-untitled-1.png


    EDIT: Here's a solution...
    Launch the shortcuts via CMD:

    1. Right-click the shortcut to Properties
    2. Click Change Icon, then click OK when its window pops up (necessary step to avoid losing the icon)
    3. Add the following, plus a space, to the beginning of the Target field, leaving the existing path at the end:
      Code:
      Code:
      cmd /c start ""
    I had previously solved this by editing a system icon file, but that method doesn't seem to be working as of update 1607, plus it was a lot more trouble.

    Windows vista x64 computer icon always changing

    what icons are you referring to?
    In the Windows Explorer list or desktop?
