Indesign Icon are White in Windows 10

[ashokk27069971]

Hi everyone,

I have a trouble with the icon of Indesign CC 2018 with Windows 10 system.

It seems that Windows 10 don't show the real icon for Indesign.

If I want to use an Indesign file in White Icon I can click it and then Indesign is launching and it show me the file, for this there is no problem.

But to see the Indesign Icon is a problem.

I am thinking is it a problem of Indesign CC2018, or is it a problem of Windows 10?

Can anybody have a solution for this?

Regards

Ashok

Happy to hear that you finally make it.

Not necessary, it depends if you have scratch Indesign intall 32 bits or 64 bits.

Not in my experience. If you have a 64 bit O/S, the 64 bit version of ID should have been installed.

Could you check in the folder of "Program files/Adobe"  what do you have?

Thank you George-S

Uninstalled from Creative Cloud (keep preferences), then re-install fixed white/blank icon issue. Easy

I know this question has been answered already, but for those of you who have recently experience this issue like I have, there is an additional step I found that helped correct this issue. I attempted all of the suggested steps, uninstall & reinstall both Cloud and InDesign, switch default Open With to one program then switching back, and following the even more in depth process of clearing out Windows Icon Cache. What ended up fixing it for me was following the steps to clear out the "Open With" options that appear when right-clicking on a file to open it. There was an "old" version of InDesign as an option, even though it had been uninstalled when it was updated to the 2022 version. that still appeared as an option. I followed the steps to dig into the system registry to remove the "Open With" options, found here https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/18119/remove-programs-from-open-with-menu-in-explorer/ . Then I reinstalled Cloud and InDesign and lastly changed the default Open With back to InDesign. And that did the trick. More steps than I cared to have to do, but I could not stand seeing that white square anymore.

Just a reminder that after you link a file to a different program (for example, ID 2020 to 2021), sometimes you need to restart. Technically, it shouldn't be necessary, but give it a shot before uninstalling everything.
