All icons in the search bar are a windows default

All of my icons appear as like in the screenshot below. I think this may be in result of my Windows key being stuck earlier and me catching a hotkey, if anyone could let me know how to fix this I'd appreciate it!

P.S: This is only in the search bar, not task bar.
