Desktop icon for a file on network shows blank in Windows 8.1, if selected the second icon from the library

Hello, 

I have a strange issue on my Windows 8.1 machine. The icon for for an executable file on the network shows blank, if I select the second icon from the library. (File->Properties->Change Icon and select the second icon - This file has two icons)

If I re-create the IconCache.db, then it is showing correctly. But I do not want to do this every time. 

Regards

It indicates your Icon Cache is corrupted and you need to rebuild it.

Open the command prompt window, type each of the following and after every command, hit the Enter button:

cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
attrib h IconCache.db
del IconCache.db
start explorer
