      I've updated my windows 10 to the latest version with service pack 1. Now the icon in the start-menu is gone.

      http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p508/carsten888/opera-icon_zpskmjqyfqn.jpg

      I removed the icon from start and then assigned opera to start again, but no joy.

      How to fix this icon?

            In the menu under start > all apps, the icon is correct, then when you drag and drop it to the 'start-menu' it becomes plain white.

              It sounds like your icon cache has become corrupted. One is able to rebuild their icon cache. This is a fairly easy and completely harmless process. Icon Cache - Rebuild in Windows 10

              I hope this helps.

                I tried to rebuild the cache, but that did not help.

                  I am sorry to hear that. Have you used Stardock products or anything else to do with customisation of Windows in the past?

                      Is the problem apparent with Opera in specific, or have you noticed others programs with a blank icon? Unfortunately, we do not have any Windows 10 PCs deployed here.

                        Only opera. I've read in articles that people had problems with windows 10 icons, when icons looked like white paper shit on some background, not like just white square.

                            It is only with Opera.

                              I had that issue. Got the icon to appear by removing from Start, going to the Opera program folder, right clicked the Opera application file from there, selected "Pin to Start", and the icon was back.

                                    Doing this you will have to recreate the shortcut on every Opera update.

                                      The error is in the launcher.visualelementsmanifest.xml.

                                      The colors and icons are set there, but the file names for the icons are not correct.

                                      Square150x150Logo = "Assets \ 150x150Logo.png"
                                      Square70x70Logo = "Assets \ 70x70Logo.png"

                                      150x150Logo.png and 70x70Logo.png do not exist, only additional versions for different scales and contrast.

                                      I have created a copy of the 2 different sizes, each of the highest scaled version. These were then renamed, so that they will be found.
                                      then I change only once the size of the tile and the icon was displayed.

                                        Right click on opera.exe and select "pin to start" (This worked for me).

                                        C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\34.0.2036.50 (or highest number folder) \opera.exe <<< pin this to start , not the launcher

                                          matzex is absolutely right. I just had to modify "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\launcher.visualelementsmanifest.xml" file.
                                          Changed 150x150Logo.png and 70x70Logo.png entries to 150x150Logo.scale-100.png and 70x70Logo.scale-100.png accordingly
