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 in the Start Menu and Ethernet icon in Network Connections and the Start Menu, I suspect Openshell has something to do with these two icons going white. I will reinstall Openshell and see if that fixes the issue. I will report back on Friday and confirm if the issue has been resolved or not.

I would do a repair install before doing a re-install. With a repair install you lose nothing.
