The problem......
I have a lot of bookmarks in IE11 and certain Favicons persistently give trouble and do not display. This forum is one of them I have another 3 or 4 that are troublesome too although the majority are OK.
I googled and searched on this subject and have not come up with a workable answer or explanation as to how Favicons are handled.
This forums Favicon fails to show no matter what I do. The other problem ones seems to appear randomly when they feel like it but once those particular ones are displaying correctly, they remain correct until a disk and browser clean deletes them again. All the remaining Favicons will repopulate instantly when that particular bookmark folder is opened. Just like photo thumbnails in a folder. So there must be a stored cache of the images somewhere. If so then it may be possible to delete it and let it rebuild when the sites are visited.
So a question. Is there a store of the Favicon images somewhere ? If there is I haven't found it... and I've googled and tried the usual stuff and unhidden operating files and looked in App Data and Roaming and Local folders. There's nothing there.
I even tried resetting IE11 to defaults and clearing all settings as a test and then visiting this site and putting it as a fresh favourite. No Favicon.
