#Microsoft word icon update update
Then after just a couple of days I got a Windows 10 update and Word icons on Word docs disappeared again and as well Excel file icons and Office start menu icons disappeared except for Skype and one other (Outlook?). Everything was fixed- Office 2019 back and Word icons back - Thank you Steve from this forum. Removed Office 2010 using Programs and Features. Tried every solution I could find in the internet including tweaking the registry. After some weeks Office 2019 turned into Office 2016 and Word docs became generic plain icons but still opened with Word. Uninstalled Word and Excel 2010 - no problems. Installed Office 2010 - everything fine.
