My old trick of disabling the Windows Update service doesn't stop this either. And if I step away from the computer for about an hour, it auto-updates itself. ![]() It keeps auto-downloading (I'm close to exceeding my quota with my ISP this month because of this behavior). Originally I simply elected to defer it, but apparently you can't do that anymore. ![]() On top of that, Windows Update has gotten super-aggressive about updating to the Fall Creators Update. Well, they haven't fixed it, and now I get a message saying they're ending security updates for the version of Win 10 I'm running, and I need to update to the Fall Creators Update to continue getting security updates. So up to now, I've just been deferring the update, hoping Microsoft would eventually fix the problem (yes I reported it to them). But I didn't want to waste time doing that for two dozen programs. The only way I've found to fix it is by reinstalling the program (reinstalling Acrobat also fixed the PDF icon). So they're not being lost or deleted, just the info on the icons is somehow not being transferred to the Fall Creators Update. ■Rolling back the update restores the correct icons. ■Installing all updates available for the Fall Creators Update. ■Changing resolution (long shot - changing color depth used to force an icon cache refresh, but apparently Win 10 only supports 32 bit color depth). ■Deleting the icon cache (which is a lot harder than the guides for older versions of Windows make it out to be). And it affects different programs installed via the same installer. ![]() So it's not limited to non-Microsoft programs. Word and Excel along with about half of the Office suite are affected, but not the other half. The PDF icon shows up correctly in the file associations default program selection window. Acrobat's program icon shows up correctly.
