Issue: Icons have disappeared or have turned white after updating WSA or after restarting your computer

Preface:

This looks like a bug in the WSA itself and the icons can be restored by the following steps.

Solution

1. Backup userdata.vhdx from %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\ folder

2. Uninstall WSA by following this guide

3. Remove the two lines in Install.ps1 that automatically launches Magisk and Play Store after the installation is finished

function Finish {
    Clear-Host
    Start-Process "wsa://com.topjohnwu.magisk"
    Start-Process "wsa://com.android.vending"
}

4. Install WSA by running Run.bat or Install.ps1

5. Restore userdata.vhdx to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\userdata.vhdx

6. Start WSA

[!WARNING] Do not start WSA before restoring user data.
