Xbox Game Pass - White Desktop icons?

slipd · 2 Jun 2025 at 21:51

Hi guys,

Anyone having issues with white Windows icon of their Xbox Game Pass games appearing on their desktop?

It appears to happen after a game update through the Xbox app or an Xbox app update via the Store.

I found this fix on Reddit but it's annoying to keep having to do it...

Thanks.

Does a simple Right-Click > Refresh not work on the desktop?

Unfortunately not, nor does a restart.

Weirdly I had the issue the other week and can't remember exactly what it was.

Nvidia App installed? Not sure if it was that that was causing it.
Or maybe OneDrive?

The Nvidia Experience app? It is actually

I've only recently installed it to be honest, accidentally, during a driver install. I might remove it later, see if that makes any difference. I can't really be without OneDrive.

Can confirm it wasn't the Nvidia Experience app...
