@The-Hive @Winuser 3 options to do it in this article, slightly simpler method, i will try this method and I will report back on Friday https://www.elevenforum.com/t/rebuild-icon-cache-in-windows-11.2049/

I'm not too keen to do another re-install of Windows 11, everything works, I will rebuild icon cache database and see if that solves the problem, I will do this on Friday. Anyway even the Edge icon is white in the Start Menu, Edge works perfectly fine. Just these two icons are white: Edge icon...

Yes I have been following that page since November last year, EP is good handy customization utility that brings back functionality of Windows 11 to Windows 10 standards. Microsoft ain't good, Microsoft can't get anything right everytime a new version of Windows is released. It's always left to...

That's something I will look into the future, at the moment I'm happy with openshell

Their must another way to fix this issue for one icon, instead of doing a whole icon cache database rebuild

Correct, only happens when the Ethernet icon is disabled

My edge icon is white in the start menu, atleast it works, the edge icon has had this problem since Windows 10 with openshell installed causes this issue, it's already be flagged in github with the developer of openshell, another user posted this problem on github

Lucky you, looks like on Friday I will need to do a icon cache database rebuild, see if that helps, are you using openshell

Yours looks fine and mines is completely white

That's greyed out not white, mines is completely white, that's the problem, your Ethernet icon is fine, mines is not, looks like on mines the Thumbnail of the icon might be corrupt.

When you right click the Ethernet Icon in network connections then can you click disable then what does the icon look like then? Can you post a screenshot. The screenshot you posted previously that shows when it's enabled being not connected with a red cross, not disabled. Yes I use Macrium too...

Reporting back: Yesterday Windows 11 updates were installed and rebooted laptop with latest stable version EP installed, all settings were intact, no problems, no issues and even all the notification icons on the taskbar, all loaded up fine.

I will try this out on Friday because I'm working away from home at the moment, when I get back home on Friday I will try it then, do I need make a back up image of the whole drive the operating system is installed on?

Right click the Ethernet icon and select disable, what does it look like then?

Will the following article in rebuilding the icon cache database work in Windows 11 or is the procedure different in Windows 11.
