Hi
This is a common problem with windows desktop computers affected with viruses.
To repair or solve this problem, you need an anti-virus program that can eliminate the virus and restore the icon functionality.
If after repair, your icons do not work, then delete them from desktop and make shortcuts from the app again.
This will work.
