Hey there,
I just upgraded to windows 8 ( i just bought the upgrade from the microsoft website).
After installing the upgrade I noticed that I was missing ALL the Metro Tiles basic ICONS ie: windows app store, internet explorer, mail , maps , messaging , music , news , people , photos , reader , travel , video ETC...
PLEASE check the attached JPGs. YOu will notice the empty tiles in the Metro UI. ALSO if i go to Default Programs you will also see that Icons are missing there as well. It's as if windows has no clue where to find the icons or windows never installed them...
Any way to fix this? I've rebooted a bunch of time. I tried doing a sfc scan ( or whatever the name is) It said it found some corrupt files and fixed them. I rebooted again but still no icons are showing up.
As much as POssible, I do not want to do a fresh install or a refresh. I also have no restore points prior because well its always been like this ever since it finished installing.
clicking the empty tiles work. It starts the application. Problem is I have no clue which tile is what.
I would really appreciate some help!
I'm disappointed that it didnt install properly for whatever reason.... Quite annoying ...
THANKS in advance.
