    Hello there! I am Charity. I'm glad to help you today!

    Thank you for the information. May I ask what are the steps that you have done so far? Let's also check for corrupted system files.

    Click Start, then type cmd.

    Right-click on "Command Prompt" and select "Run as administrator".

    In the Command Prompt window, type:

    sfc /scannow

    Press Enter.

    Wait for the scan to complete. It may take several minutes.

    Then, please restart the computer, then please test again.

    If issues still persist, may I ask if you are having error codes? Does all of the icons have the same behavior?

    Kind Regards,

    Charity

    Please note that things might need more than one reply to completely resolve your issue, as it will completely depend on the complexity of the question and the amount of detail that you have provided me.
