Ideleted a bunch of shortcut icons on the desktop in Windows 7 to clear the screen. One of them was Photoshop cs5. Ever since its icon has gone missing. I get the default icon for unknown app in the start menu. The properties dialog for the PS shows the correct PS icon and the path. I've tried changing the icon, rebuilding the icon cache by deleting Icon cache database, re-adding the desktop shortcut. Nothing works. How can I fix this?

There are 2 things you can try.



Open the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5", or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5" if you have a 64-bit installation of windows.



Inside there, you should see a program named photoshop.exe. Right click it, point to Send to, and click Send the desktop (create shortcut).



If it still doesn't work, or if you cannot find the above, uninstall then reinstall Photoshop and your problem should fix itself.


I know this is a bit old but I had the same problem and I managed to fix it much easier. I right clicked on the premiere pro (or photoshop or whatever, it happened with premiere with me), click properties, then icon change (or something like this, my computer isnt in english idk what its called in english but basically the butt with which you change the icon), chose a random icon, click use and then ok, then go back to properties and change icon and change it to the original icon, for me it was the first icon, and there were other similar adobe icons provided by adobe by default. Its important to click ok and close the window before otherwise it wont work.


I loaded a backup of my previous computer onto my new macbook and now the photoshop icon is missing in the dock, and instead shows the icon in the screenshot below. I use photoshop Creative Cloud 2017, I have uninstalled and installed, and I have restarted. Anyone know what the issue is/ how to fix?


I installed my backup from time machine. When I noticed the issue, I uninstalled photoshop and reinstalled- same problem. It starts correctly from the applications folder, and the photoshop icon is there. Just when I open it, or keep it in the dock the icon appears as shown in the screenshot above.


The headline gets to the point. Here's a screen shot of the issue. The Photoshop icon is now blank. In properties, where you can associate the program with the file type, changing it to Photoshop refuses to take. The "Pick an app" icon remains.


And thanks for those solution. As mentioned in my post, Solution 1 didn't work., I had to google Solution 2, as I didn't know about that or how it worked. Unfortunately, that failed in the same way Solution 1 did - I could choose the associated software, but it wouldn't stick.


Edit: I uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop. The icons were still blank, however; this time when I went in and associated the icon with the software, the change stuck and the icons were fixed.


This is a problem that has hit a lot of people, there have been at least thirty threads concerning this since CC2019 was released. The immediate trigger is uninstalling old versions after the new one is installed. This takes file associations with it, leaving them orphaned.


Anyone else have a black square over the photoshop taskbar icon after updating to 20.2.0? I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, unpinning from taskbar. Photoshop works fine but looking at this black square is driving me nuts!


Good morning JJMack,

I had to same problem, and tried a multitude of fixes - but you are right; updating the PC with the latest Windows 10 Updates solved the issue for me along with several others such as the photoshop home screen not displaying at all and not allowing me to create a new document.


Yes i have the same issue and it's infuriating. I have tried changing it in Windows 10 including the themes and colours and tried removing and adding the task bar icon but nothing fixes it. For many Windows users this is a major issue. The solution provided by the employee fails to understand that there's something showing just nothing useful, the icon location is not blank it's just a section of dark navy blue with a black box covering the remainder.


Quite a few window uses have reported this so there is a problems somewhere. However, the problem source location has not been pinpointed. Photoshop 21.2 and window seem to be the starting common point. However all window users using Photoshop 21.2 do not have the problem. What else do the users with the problem have in common. There are several windows version many device drivers and version of them where is the fault point located is there only one. The Problem shows in Windows task bar but the source is unknown. Where in Adobe's ballpark, Microsoft's Ballpark or some third party's ballpark.


I had the same problem. Clearing the icon cache fixed it. Search Google for 'windows 10 clear icon cache'. On Windows 10 there are 2 folders that have cache files, previous versions of windows only had one file so make sure the instructions include both folders.


I have tried unpinning it when the program is open and the box goes away..but as soon as I pin it again, the box shows up. None of the fixes mentioned in this thread have given me a solid/permanent solution..


Additionally, changing the windows setting to "High Contrast" did eliminate the problem immediately but it returned when I changed the contrast back so I did not find that as a solution although it did work.


Lets go, use the translator in this reply. Eu j tentei mudar o cone manualmente pelas propriedades, mas mesmo assim no mudou nada, eu j dei F5 ou boto direito do mouse e depois em atualizar, e o cone continua l, a nica coisa que est acontecendo que, assim que eu abro o aplicativo do Photoshop, o cone que criado na barra de tarefas, fica com um cone invlido, como se tivesse um atalho corrompido ou algo assim, eu j tentei abrir diretamente pela pasta, sem contar com nenhum atalho, e tambm no funcionou. Ainda no tentei reinstalar pois estou trabalhando, mas assim que eu terminar eu reinstalo para ver.


This would change the desktop startup thumbnail. To change the one in the tasks you would need to modify the icon the application set or perhaps edit the Windows registry. Vhanging the shhort cut startup Icon may undate the registry for the module.


I see you posted two start up shortcuts thumbnails and an icon most likely from your task bar, can you identify which start up Thumbnail you started? Also Capture its content. Then hold your cursor over the icon in the task bar and capture what is is displayed?


Get free Photoshop icons in iOS, Material, Windows and other design styles for web, mobile, and graphic design projects. These free images are pixel perfect to fit your design and available in both PNG and vector. Download icons in all formats or edit them for your designs.


The icons need to be 24 x 24px, and saved as PNG. I created the icons in Photoshop, set the resolution to 300 (to try and make it as crisp and sharp as possible) and saved each file as a PNG. Here's an example of how they turned out:


I was under the impression that, at 24x24 px, it wasn't going to get much less pixelated than this. Am I wrong about this? Is there a way to export these tiny little image files so that they are as un-pixelated as possible?


I would suggest to set the dimensions of your canvas to 24px x 24px and zoom in enough that you can see the pixel grid. Then nudge and/or resize your icons until they align with the specific pixels. This will minimize the anti aliasing on the rectangular shapes. Not much you can do about tiny circles though. There will be anti aliasing, want it or not.


I have circled things that suggest misalignment. If a rectangular shape is aligned to the pixel grid and its stroke and width are perfect pixel dimensions, then the colours on both sides should be the same. In fact, the colour should be solid, not 3 different shades of the same colour.


This does not mean that your design is wrong. You can make things whatever width you want and place them wherever you want. It just means that to be rendered at such a small size PS needs to use anti aliasing.


One last thing. Your comment about 300dpi confuses me. If you are creating an image that will be seen at 24px x 24px on a screen, talking about its resolution has no place. I talk about that topic in this answer.


I have always modified the icons anyway so that I could tell different year versions apart in the dock. My 2018 was pretty sloppy, . For 2021 I cut out the icon from the white square and resized it on a white hex to make the edges stand out. You are welcome to use the image file if you prefer it.


I use Windows 10, and Photoshop 11. I have made some sort of silly mistake and would be very grateful for some help. When I look at a folder on my computer containing photographs, I no longer see jpeg files as individual photographs, instead they all just have a standardized graphic fronting the icon. I've been fiddling around, but cannot see how to change the settings so that I can see small individual photographs instead of the graphic icons.

When viewing in Windows Caroline?

Sounds like your preferred option has changed in the 'View' menu.



Open the folder, top left(ish) click on the View tab, then click on your choice.

You will notice that when the cursor moves over the alternatives, the view changes. But so long as you clicked the one you want, it should revert to that when the cursor moves away (and on subsequent opening of the folder).

You possibly clicked on a different one without realising :-)

Hope that helps.
