To display icons faster, Windows caches them in a file. This special file contains icons for many applications and file types. File Explorer therefore does not need to extract icons for known file extensions and applications. This helps File Explorer work faster.

However, the icon cache file size is only 500 KB by default. Due to this restriction, folders with many files may open slowly. Increasing the icon cache size may resolve the issue and fix slow icon loading in the File Explorer app.

Unfortunately, there is no special option in Windows 10 and File Explorer to change the icon cache size. The procedure involves modifying the registry. Let's see how this can be done.

You must be logged in with an administrative account to continue.

If you notice that the icons are not displayed correctly, or not displayed at all, your first step should be to rebuild the icon cache (in Windows 10) or the thumbnail cache (in Windows 7 and 8) . This process basically amounts to finding and deleting the cache file so that Windows will rebuild it on the next reboot. You might even try this first if slow-loading icons are your only problem. If this doesn't help you resolve the issue, take a look at these steps to increase the icon cache size. These steps work on Windows 7, 8 and 10.

If your desktop icons are slow to load in Windows 10/8/7, these suggestions will help you fix slow startup and startup issues. This could be due to the presence of many startup programs, corrupted user profile or icon cache file, etc.
