Hi, few days ago my electricity cut out unexpectedly and then after few minutes it came back. I turned on my PC and when I tried to search some apps on windows search bars, it showed like this. I can't see the icons properly there. There is no problem with apps, everything running and working properly. 
I tried to search some tips, but there are no fixes anywhere that might work. 
My PC Specifications - 
i5-12400F
Zotac 3060 12GB
16GB DDR4 RAM
650w PSU Thermaltake
Storage total - 750GB (512gb NVME + 250GB SATA SSD)

Run these commands in the Windows Command Prompt -

 

chkdsk C: /F

sfc /scannow

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth (ScanHealth is redundant if using RestoreHealth but I keep it for formality)

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

 

The above commands are for fixing. As for maintenance, I run the above and automatic maintenance through control panel.

 

If those didn't fix, try rebuilding the search indexing (just search for it).

 

The ultimate fix is a re-install. I hate to say this but Windows is just too complicated to figure out what went wrong.

 

edit - Suggestions from AI -

 

Rebuild the icon cache by running these commands in CMD -

 

ie4uinit.exe -show
taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
DEL /A /Q "%localappdata%\IconCache.db"
DEL /A /F /Q "%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\iconcache*"
shutdown /r /f /t 00

 

Reset Windows Search -

 

Get-AppXPackage -Name Microsoft.Windows.Search -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

 

Try creating a new user profile if nothing worked.

Microsoft owns my soul.

 

Also, Dell is evil, but HP kinda nice.
