[SOLVED] How do I fix my thumbnails in the start menu?

Click Start Button and type:- cmd

Next press the ctrl +shift+enter keys on your keyboard an elevated cmd prompt will open.


Copy and paste all the below cmds into the command prompt window, press enter.


Code: 
ie4uinit.exe -show


Code: 
taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
(your desktop will go blank)


Code: 
DEL /A /Q "%localappdata%\IconCache.db"


Code: 
DEL /A /F /Q "%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\iconcache*"


Code: 
shutdown /p
(your computer will shutdown completely, after this Restart your computer
 
Tried it, didn't work. However after researching a bit more, I fixed it by uninstalling google drive, for some reason the sync messed up with the icons.
 
Open the Start menu, type View advanced system settings, then select that result from the list. Under Performance, select Settings and make sure Save taskbar thumbnail previews and Show thumbnails instead of icons are checked. :-)
