Hello

·         What program did you uninstall the system?

If you are able to access the programs of the main program icon that is present on the system then, I suggest to create a new shortcut icon and then send the shortcut on the desktop and the Coachman.

a. Locate the program on the system, and then right click on the .exe icon.

b. click send to and click on the desktop (shortcut).

Apart from that, I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below.

Method 1:

It could be that the icon of the Cache is corrupt. I suggest you to rebuild the icon cache and check if the problem is resolved.

a. close and save all work. This command will kill explore and reboot once completed.

b. open the Start Menu and type cmd in the search box and press on enter.

(c) in the command prompt, copy and paste each line below command and press ENTER after each command.

Taskkill /IM explorer.exe/f

CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local

DEL /a IconCache.db

Shutdown /r

d. the IconCache.db file was now rebuilt.

Method 2:

I suggest you to check if the problem persists in the new user account. Follow the steps mentioned in the article below.
