Lost my word icon

Solved/Closed

Hello,

I have a question. Until recently there has been a Micorosft icon on my desktop and it showed up under the «All Programs» list on my Start menu. About a week ago it disappeared from both of those places and also from the folder in my Program Files labelled Micosoft Office! I know I still have Word on my PC because I can open previously created documents in this program as well as open a new blank document in Word and save it, etc. What has happened to Microsoft Wrd? Thanks.

  1. Win 10, word icon lost after recent auto update from microsoft.

    After the last windows auto update I lost my word icon at the bottom bar. If I open a word file from my desktop, the file is displayed but I get a message in the side bar that word has recovered the following files. I have tried pinning the word icon back on the bar but it does not change the recovery message. I work with computers because of what they do when they work properly but I easily get lost when I talk to an expert and the person uses computer terminolgy.

    :)

  2. Is it possible to pin recent doc to Word icon on taskbar? It’s possible with WordPad so, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work with Word.

  3. Windows 10 Office 365 cannot open files from: recent file list

    Thanks for the tip! I followed all above steps.

    So far I can open files from the Recent files list when I enter Word itself, however I still am unable to open any documents using the Word icon pinned to the taskbar:

  4. Win 10, word icon lost after recent auto update from microsoft.

    Windows 10 Task bar Icon for Word and/or Excel, right click to show recent files.

    Windows 10 Task bar Icon for Word and/or Excel, right click to show recent or pinned files. How do I get the recent files to list?

    I have looked at all the properties as well as windows 10 options for both programs and I can only affect the recent files once the program is opened.

    For example: In Windows 8 you can right click the Word icon and a list of recent files shows up, usually up to 8 files. You can then select specific files to be pinned. The pinned files are there but never any recent files.

    How do I change this or is this a feature that is gone?

    I have Microsoft 365 Home. I have updated both Windows 10 and my Microsoft suite applications.

    Thanks =)

Download PC Repair Tool to quickly find & fix Windows errors automatically

It has been observed that conflicts with the default program settings in Windows can cause plain white icons to be displayed on your ‘.docx‘ files. As such, you may not see any Microsoft Word icon. If Microsoft Word icon is blank or missing, & not showing correctly or properly on .doc & .docx document files of Office on Windows 11/10, then you can try the solutions outlined below in the post.

Word icon is not showing on .doc & .docx document files

In most cases, a simple computer restart or a refresh of the folder can resolve the problem. Press F5 and see. You should also check and ensure that the file extension of such files is either .doc or .docx. If that doesn’t help, then read further.

1] Configure .docx files to open with ‘winword.exe’

Word icon is not showing on document files

Right-click on a DOCX file and select ‘Open with…’ option.

Next, when prompted with ‘How do you want to open this file’ message, choose ‘More apps’ option.

Now, scroll down and check the box marked against the ‘Always use this app to open .docx files’ option.

Click on the ‘Look for another app on this PC’ link and select the WINWORD.exe application, from one of the following paths, according to the installed Office version and click Open:

  • Word 2016 (64-bit): C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficerootOffice16
  • Word 2016 (32-bit): C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficerootOffice16

This should help.

3] Change Default Word icon in Registry

Before you begin, do create a system restore point first.

Now type ‘regedit’ in search box and press Enter to open Registry Editor.

Navigate to the following path in the left pane:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTWord.Document.12DefaultIcon

Double-click at Default value at the right pane and according to your Word version and architecture (32 or 64 bit), copy-paste the corresponding value in the value data box:

  • For Word 2016 (64-bit) keep it as C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficerootOffice16wordicon.exe,13
  • For Word 2016 (32-bit) Keep it as C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficerootOffice16wordicon.exe,13

The path will depend on your Office version.

When done, hit the Enter key. After that, close Registry Editor and restart your computer.

The problem should be resolved.

3] Rebuild the Icon cache

At times, icons of various files may not appear due to the cache problem. Therefore, you could rebuild the icon cache to fix this issue on your computer. Rebuild the Icon cache and see if it helps. You may use our Thumbnail and Icon Cache Rebuilder to do so with a click.

4] Fix Office apps

If the Office icons are blank after installing Office from the Microsoft Store, then Open Settings > Apps. Find Microsoft Office Desktop Apps in the app list, select it and click on Advanced options. Click Fix. Then wait till the process is over and then restart your computer. If the problem persists, repeat these steps but click Reset instead of Fix.

5] Repair Office Installation

If none of the aforementioned solutions is working for you, you may need to consider repairing your Office installation on your computer.

How do I get my Microsoft Word icon back?

To get your Microsoft Word icons back in Windows 11/10, you need to rebuild the icon cache, change the default Word icon in Registry, etc. At last, you may try repairing your Office installation on your computer using the official tool.

Why is docx icon not showing?

At times, Microsoft Word may not show the icon of files on your Windows 11/10 computer. It mainly happens when there are some internal conflicts in your system files. However, you may be able to fix the issue by following the guides mentioned above.

All the best!
