So, what's causing this?

Picture below.

 

Sometimes when I open my PC CPU-Z, GPU-Z, RealTemp and Revouninstaller have lost their icons in the start menu. It only happens with those programmes and it happens at random. Like today. It worked fine when I closed the pc yesterday, this morning the icons are gone. Nothing has changed.

 

Revo and GPU-Z and RealTemp are portable versions but CPU-Z is installed.

 

If I right click and choose Properties and try to change the icon I am able to do so in all 4 of the programmes except GPU-Z which gives me a file path and tells mere there are no icons in that destination. However, even if I change the icons in the other 3 programmes, it stays the same.

 

So, where did the icons go? Why?

I would try deleting this shortcut and creating a new one from the exe and adding it to your start bar.

I should have mentioned that the actual exe's display the same image, so do new shortcuts.  :blink:

 

I suppose a re-install of the software is the only way to go, but it's quite unstable as it happens now and then. And that's really annoying.

You could try rebuilding your icon cache: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/49819-icon-cache-rebuild.html

I've just re-installed the software and it fixed the issue, naturally. At least until next time. For some reason CPU-Z returned on it's own.

 

Thanks for your help.

Looks like it's probably just a dead shortcut.  Just create a new one.
