This was the best tutorial for restoring Steam Icons, easy to understand and do. Thanks, the globes were so annoying.

It's the only way. Assuming many of us had issues with steam and did a fresh steam install. Moved games back

Thank you so much! This helped a lot, all the other guides I were finding were awful and didn't help me at all. I finally won't be confused as to which game I'm opening 😆

So easy! Thank you so much, the blank icons were driving me nuts!

I love you man, seriously! Simple and accurate, unlike most of the other guides! Thank you

Finally a fix that works! This was driving me crazy. :-)

Still helpful three years later. Thanks 🙏

Concise and accurate, thank you so much!

quick and simple, love this tutorial

i can do all the stepsup until 3:15 when i open up properties there is no tab for "web document"

thank you so much! i had this issue with GTA V and BeamNG.drive, now my icons are back.

Thank you so much, I ran into a problem when I turned on my laptop, logged in and steam automatically logged me out. when I logged back in to steam all my games were un-installed. so I re installed everything but all the shortcut icons were blank pages. I tried so many ways to fix it and none worked until I watched this video. I followed all the steps and it fixed it! I owe you one, thank you so much!

Thanks. But how do you get on when you have six hundred games missing icons after upgrading your computer? Surely there has to be a much quicker way as all my games are stored on a number of hard and SSD drives.

For some reason, the location of the game exe would not automatically enter itself into the correct box. It remained as the steam url. I ended up copying the game exe url and entering it into the icon url box manually and then clicked apply. Worked perfectly, thanks very much.

thanks, this helped alot as it's an eyesore on my desktop. liked.

Thank you. It was very helpful. I already tried to delete the Icon Cache which didnt work but to link the icon with the coherent application did help :)

Thank you! You saved so many perfectionists with this video!

THANK YOU. had to do a full system rebuild and this video was the clearest instructions. u earned my like and sub

Now my games don't have blank icons! Thank you, your tip really helped me with the eyesore.

Thank you so much man, you deserved my like

Awesome video, thank you for the help!

Thanks so much! I was having a problem with the wrong icon showing up for Subnautica and this fixed it! thank you!

thank you so much i have been trying all day!!:)

Thanks a bunch 😊

What happens when the *verify integrity of game files* option is blacked out, an unable to be clicked?

It worked like a charm! Thank you so much!

i tried so many tutorials and none helped but did this thank you!

Thank you good sir, it was quite annoying when the game icons would not show up on the desktop screen.

Geez, that took longer than expected. But thank you for this video.

Thank you! This worked for me.

Very helpful. Thanks.

Thank you very much bro, I was with that problem and your help has solved it!

Thanks, very straight forward tutorial

What about within the Steam App itself? When in the store, several games have the unable to download image icon in the top left when hovering over the game... then I can see what game it is. I tried updating graphics and the driver... still didn't work

This is helpful even 3 years later.

Thanks a lot! Really helpful!

Theres no option for changing the icon, the entire web document tab is missing

Restored my lost icons in a matter of 2 minutes! Thank you for your tutorial mate! 😀 BTW is there a way to Verify the Integriy of all the games at the same time or do we need to do it manually for each one? 🤔

Thanks heaps for the video, this helped so much! Other guides i checked were barely helpful

theres no "web document" tab in my proberties at 3:10

Thanks to you, I fixed it.thanks^^

Thank you - This fix my icons

This worked for me for one game, but when I try to do it for the extra game it makes them both the file I did for one, any clue as to why?

thank you sooo much dude! :D. i've been having this problem for soo long and it was soo anoying but now i have finnaly fixed it! thank you :D

FINNALY THANK YOU!!!

THANKS A LOTT!!! IT WORKS!!!

I mean this tutorial kind helped but i cant open steam so is there a way to fix that it says "The drive or Network connection that the shortcut 'steam.ink' refers to is unavailable make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resourse is available. Then try again" so yea thats my question so maybe you can find a way to fix that two?

I have a similar problem, i deleted internet explorer and I think that's the problem, my icons were blank, I go to properties which is a URL File now and change the app to open with to Microsoft edge, which didn't fix it. So I reinstalled the and the icon is now the Microsoft edge icon. do u know the fix ? (I did ur fix but I cant put in the location, i can only change the open with app) this also happened to my fortnite but all the other games that i had that weren't steam didn't have this problem)

Love the 200% ear rape volume on the intro with the 50% mic volume. This fixed my steam icon problems tho, so thanx.

My case is when I open the game, the icon doesn't shows in my taskbar when it does on the desktop. Can you help?

Does it only add the icon or does it repair the entire shortcut?

Ok, so, this is for when the game is already installed. What do you do when the icons aren't being associated when a game is newly installed from scratch on a new Win10 installation, AND you've already verified that "Internet Browser" is selected (As suggested by @furywind) as the default .URL extension?

The "fix" was to uninstall Steam, delete all directories and files dealing with Steam, going through the registry and delete all relevant entries for Steam, reboot, and then reinstall Steam. Two freshly installed Steam games are showing their icons.

Thank goodness I finally got this fixed!

very useful! thanks

Thank you so much, you helped me a lot

Thanks a bunch even after 4 years!

Thx man!

Hi, when I go into properties on the shortcut I don't get the option to change the icon. There is no Web Document tab. How do I fix this?

my game has a check mark instead of the blue arrow does that make a difference?

i have this same issue and this is the second time it happened, but it doesn’t have any options to change the icon when i go into properties

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the help

Thanks for this, i had not thought of trying it this way. Might have wandered into the verify files option if i kept looking ,but this saved me time. Unfortunately it didn't work, however, i know why it happened, and i was able to go to the properties of the shortcut, and change the icon to each game's .exe file in the game folders. (my icons blanked out after deleting and reinstalling almost all of steam, trying to fix a different bug in steam)

Thanks for help, but when I try to restore old icon for trove I can't find it and I have only glyph launcher icon available,

Nevermind, I found it after I searched a little bit more

Yeah sooooo.... All of my steam games are missing an icon (25-30 games) and I've fixed this problem twice by clicking properties and changing the image. The thing is the icons keep disappearing! After maybe a week or two they're gone again and I dont have the time nor do I want to try and fix this again for another 20 minutes ._. Do you have any ideas how I can reaply the icons faster or stop it from removing the icons?

it's easy go to any shortcut and "right click" --> "open with" --> "Internet Browser" or Go to default apps --> Choose default applications by file type --> .url --> Internet Browser Copy pasted this from another comment but thought you might have missed this

Thank you very much Sir!!! this helped out a lot.

only fixed the icon for me it still ask me what app to use to open the link

To cut a few steps you can just do the file validation then right click on the game icon on steam then properties and have it send the start game shortcut icon to the desktop. I had this happen today in 2020 with a windows update

Fixed my icons, thank you!

When i click on the common folder it just shows a folder called steamworks shared, no game. Please help.

for me in the properties folder on the desktop it dosent give me the option to open web document

Thank you so much🙏🙏🙏. I did a windows reset where I got to keep my games and files but when I turned my pc back on and got steam to recognize my games again the shortcuts were still blank. This helped so much.

Still works until now, Thank you.

Bro there is no web document when i go to properties so how can ifind the change icon?

FAB! Cheers man!!

Im missing my customuze button. My icons file path are not launching properly.

Thx these icons drove me crazy thx man

theres no web document on my shortscut created through steam, how do i change then?

THANK YOU, I used the open location of steam to find the folder, then in a folder called steam there is a games folder with all the game logos. Plugged the URL as said in the video and voila!

Thanks alot. Worked wonderfully
