Missing Office Icons

Option 1 - Manually Recreate the icons

  • Right-click on a blank area on your desktop and choose New → Shortcut

  • Paste "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE" click Next

  • Name it whatever you want or leave the default name

  • Click Finish

You can do this for other office applications, just replace Outlook.exe with Winword.exe, Excel.exe, or PowerPoint.exe.

You can also copy these shortcuts in the following folder so the icons appear in your start menu:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
