Windows 10 wrong label/name on Settings icon in Start Menu

Hi,

For us to isolate your concern with your Settings icon, we would like to know the following:

• Can you tell us if you have installed any languages or fonts to your computer?
• When did the issue first begin?
• To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

In the meantime, you may try the following troubleshooting steps included from these threads:

• Joy Kemprai.
• ThofikhAhamad.

We look forward to your response.

Here are the answers to the questions:

1. I did not install any language packs or fonts.  As you can see, the text on the Settings icon is not really a language but just keyboard symbols.

2. Issue started last week. Only basic Windows automatic updates were installed on the machine. I do not believe an update caused it.

3. I rebuilt the icon cache (IconCache.db) but it did not help.

There must be an easy way to see the icon name/label on the hard drive and correct it there.  I wish the Windows Start menu was more robust like Windows 7 so we could control what shows and the text that shows with it.

Thanks 

Panos
