Under Color, select medium (16 bits), and then click apply. If you have selected medium (16-bit), select * (32-bit). Sometimes you need to restart before moving on to the next step. Try both methods, and then click Yes to confirm the new settings.

Select * (32-bit) and click OK. If you have selected * (32-bit), select medium (16-bit).

Close the window and empty the Recycle Bin, and then restart the computer.

When you return, you will notice that the size of the ImageIconCache.db file is small and that the modification date is now the current date. If for some reason the ImageIconCache.db does not exist or the size does not change much, you only need to restart the computer. In some cases, you may need to restart several times.
