OK I followed the similar issue and then the reddit post from the comments and followed the process and that resolved the issue. Note that my cache files were locked so I first had to unlock them and restart to be able to delete them (used unlocker software).

Here is the process for reference https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/16v3rqk/comment/kpjxfgg/

Kill explorer. This should be possible through task manager.

Remove the thumbchache files. Here's a powershell command to do it: Get-ChildItem -Path C:\Users$env:username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer -Filter "thumbcache*" | Remove-Item

Open regedit.

Go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes.png

Rename the .png key (folder?) to something like .png_

Start explorer. You can do this by runnning explorer in powershell.

At this point your icons should be back. To bring back the .png file associations you had previously:

Restart regedit.

Delete the newly auto-generated Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes.png key.

Rename the old .png_ key back to .png

Restart explorer.
