Hey gang, I downloaded and started using the new EVGA Precision X software. So far I really like it. Only little thing, and it is just more of a nag than anything as it obviously does not affect the software- my shortcut on the desktop does not have an icon, it is just the blank standard windows icon when there is none. I took a look in the Precision X directory, and the .exe file to launch Precison shows the same, just a generic windows blank icon. I tried uninstalling , deleted the Precision folder, re-downloading and installing fresh again - with the same results. Anyone know how I can get the icon for it that it should have? Thanks,

So anyways, I am probably the only EVGA card owner and Precision X user that this has ever happened to - losing the icon for the PrecisionX.exe file. After much trial, I finally managed to get it back. Apparently my problem lay with the fact that: I had installed OC Scanner first, which installed to an EVGA folder, then a subfolder for OC Scanner, on my programfilesx86 directory. When I installed Precision X, it actually created another EVGA folder within the same directory just for Precision X. Not sure how that happened. So this morning , I uninstalled and reinstalled Precision X, and rather than letting it install to the default directory, I browsed to the EVGA folder that OC Scanner resides in, and let it install into the same folder. So now I have an EVGA folder, with two folders within, one for OC Scanner, the other for Precision X. And, for whatever reason, this solved the missing icon for the precisionx.exe file. I doubt anyone else will manage to run across this, but thought I would post how it got resolved for me just in case.

Spoke to soon, dang icon on the executable is gone once again. Very wierd. However, when I minimize Precision X, the little icon is there in the notification area, when non minimized I just have the blank generic windows icon. Ah well I don't lose any funtionality, just a nag really. Maybe the next update to the program will somehow resolve this wierd issue for me...

When I updated to the latest version, it seems to have fixed the problem for me - never could get it with the previous version, was strange.

Same problem with me, I think it happens when you uninstall the program then reinstall it, just wondering if there"s something else that needs to get deleted. Already tried deleting EVGA folder before reinstall, most likely I think something else needs to get deleted, but can't find it.

I got it to stop. Right click on the icon. Choose properties. Choose to change icon. Search the X86 Program Files directory for EVGA Precision. Choose the Precision executable and apply. My icon never went away again. For some odd reason, the association to the program got broken and needed to be re-associated

I had a similar problem and Someone here posted this fix and it worked for me. I am very sorry to say that at this minute I cannot remember who posted this fix. I will try to find out who later when I have some more time. It may take a few tries to get it to work correctly. Good Luck. Icon fix Proceed to an elevated command prompt and ensure you have the administrative privileges. You can do this by doing a Start->Run->Type 'cmd' and then right-click and choose 'run as administrator' to gain this elevated command prompt. From there you'll want to perform these steps in sequence. This will essentially end the explorer task, change your directory to the local data store in the current user profile, eliminate the IconCache.db file and then restart your PC. Afterwords it will rebuild your icon cache and you may need to set the icons again but they should not revert to the generic IE icon any further: - taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
- CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
- DEL IconCache.db /a
- shutdown /r

I had the same issue. I just pointed the start menu icon to the uninstall.exe in the precision folder. That exe uses the same icon. So if you don't want to mess with the dos cmd stuff this fix works also...

Another thing you can do is change to a different ICON and the change back to the X one.

Delete your short cuts and remove from your upper start menu and task menu. Then to the start menu All Programs EVGA and then Precision X and re-pin to your start menu and to your task menu. This is also if you are on Windows 7 and Below, for Windows 8.x you will need a Windows 8.x user to chime in.
