I did not do a cold reboot, only a restart (WIN 10) using Chrome and no icons still, yet the restart requires me to put in all the userIDs and passwords on all the websites I frequent and usually do not have to do so (although not a bad idea keeping it this way, lol.)
That is weird, since that is a "reboot" and that fixed my problem with the icons. I didn't have to resort to a power down/power on cold restart...
