I do not know anything about computer coding, so a detailed answer to the solution would be great!

I followed these instructions not knowing what it would do and, in the top answer, the person suggested to execute the following, but now all of my icons have been deleted:

TaskKill /IM "Explorer.exe" /F
Cd /d "%LocalAppData%"
Del "IconCache.db" /a
Shutdown /r
  • I've tried performing a system restore, but it would not change anything

You can't simply undo that. You've deleted the icon cache file and this is irreversible but this should not be a problem because Windows should rebuild it automatically when you restart your computer.

Did you already do that?

Maybe something else went wrong.
