I tried using System Restore to reset my PC to a point before I installed my Virtual Machine, which was about a week ago. I also forgot to mention that I use Windows 10.

I also tried doing the "SFC /scannow" comamnd in the command prompt, but it said that it found nothing wrong. I scanned my computer with Malware Bytes but no threats were found on my computer. He also suggested unplugging both my monitors and my Cintiq (which is a drawing tablet), no luck there either. My friend suggested enabling and disabling tablet mode. I tried rebuilding the icon cache, but it didn't work either. The first thing I tried to do was to reboot it in Safe Mode, but it didn't work. I can't see any of the icons or images, just the file names. The same goes for the taskbar and inside folders. (In hindsight, I should have scanned the files for viruses, I deleted them from my computer since I thought that they were useless and I needed to get other versions) Follow these steps to clear your icon cache: Open your File Explorer using This PC.
