Hello, have you ever come across this kind of icon display problem? (I know this is not an isolated case.)
If so, how did you fix it?
The image is attached.
Thank you in advance.

Hello
It looks like a graphics driver problem. Do you have the latest SolidWorks certified drivers?

No, it's not graphic, it will be more of a problem with registry keys apparently.
But I don't know more...
All my drivers are up to date, and it happens on my landline, as well as on my laptop.
And it doesn't happen all the time, but it's quite recurrent

It seems strange to me that this is the register if it is not systematic!
It looks like this:

But he does not propose a solution... except for an update in 2014.
Are you good in 2013?

a little hit of CCleaner can't hurt, sometimes overloaded temporaries can generate weird pbs

On another forum whose name I won't mention.. They assured me that it came from the registry, they advised me to report it to Solidworks.
So I raised the problem with Dassault, asking for improvements in this direction.
We'll see what happens.
If I have any news I will keep you informed.
Thank you again to all.
And good luck!
If you want to do a test by resetting the registry, it's possible:

Be sure to rename your current folder to keep a copy, so you can easily come back to it after the test.
(for example, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Solidworks\SolidWorks 2014.OLD).

I'll admit to you, Lucas, that I started there...
I renamed my case with "_old" at the end to be able to restore it, and no change, I saw that my case was not isolated, and that it happens from time to time.
So I put forward a hypothesis, which, presumably, would be a cause of many bugs.
The fact that I have a windows in French, with a solidworks originally made in English, but installed in French (and yes I'm not bilingual^^), causes a lot of bugs related to translation.
The best way to have as few worries as possible would be to install everything in English. From windows, to Solidworks.
Notice to testers!
