White windows icons

And it is only in the start menu. I also just checked event logs and there are no helpful logs in there at all. Hi Eve, correction, I was looking for the wrong registry key. Your suggestion fixed some of the issues and only on Server , this did not work on Server What is fixed: All start menu icons appear to show correct again.

What is still broken: If some icons are pinned to start they still show up as white. Not all, Control panel is white, registry editor works, server manager is white, calculator works. It is strange.
