How to Fix Broken Shortcut Icon or White Blank on Computer Desktop
The icon that is damaged or blank white or the icon of the shortcut is not there, aka empty, usually because the original application in the system program files is sometimes not reconnected with the shortcut. The causes can vary, whether it is affected by a virus attack so that the icon cache data is consumed by the virus, transferring data from the shortcut files of the program concerned (so moving data files from the shortcut program whose icon is damaged) to accidental deletion that you did in the past and you just realized when you saw the impact or effect,
Now to deal with each of these problems first recognize the characteristics, to see if the target files of the application are still connected by a shortcut, then right-click then select "Properties". here select the "Shortcut" menu well on the shortcut menu you will see there is a "Target"column box,
The target column box functions to connect the original application clone with the clone application (shortcut) on the desktop so that when we run the shortcut it is automatically as if we have run the original application.
Now if you feel the correct location of the application files and there is, then that is not the cause, so re-examine why the shortcut icon is damaged, if the original application is not deleted in the file system and is still intact then you must scan your laptop or computer, is there a virus lodged, if not then most likely you deleted the cache files from the icon in the %temp% folder.
Now on this occasion i will provide a very, very simple tutorial for those of you who are experiencing problems like this, well how is the tutorial ? just follow the tutorial below.
Tutorial:
- In this first step, download the program here first.
- If so, extract the files that you have downloaded.
- Now here run the program according to the bit on your laptop or computer.
- Now here click double click the program that you have selected according to the bit on your laptop or computer.
- Then if that is indeed the problem, namely number 3. namely the cache files, the shortcut is accidentally deleted by the system / antivirus because the cache files are suspected of being malware and infected with a virus. the shortcut icon will return to normal.
- Well if so then enjoy.
Well maybe that's all the ways I know to restore it instantly, if that doesn't work then you can create a new shortcut again from the affected shortcut software, for example if the google chrome shortcut becomes corrupt and blank white, when you run it it can still be run then just go directly to the google chrome data folder and create a shortcut from the original application.
