I may be off base here but have you tried refreshing your icon cache?

For Pre Windows 10
  • ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache
For Windows 10, use:
  • ie4uinit.exe -show

The same ghosty icon effect is also used when you "cut" items (Ctrl+X). Do they also dissappear when you do this?

Ho ho, not too fast.

- First I would reboot Windows.
- Have you tried refreshing your icon cache?
- And what about Explorer, same issue?

But have you reverted the patched theme itself?

I've done all these steps and there's no problem with Windows Explorer
I'll start Windows in safe mode and see what'll happen
thanks
