DWG Icons Blank in Windows Explorer

DWG's are set to the 'AutoCAD DWG Launcher', but some of our users still have their DWG icons displaying blank.

You may have to re-associate the default program for dwg files.

Right click file > Open With > Choose Default Program > Choose AutoCAD.exe or whatever you're using.

We have that set for 'AutoCAD DWG Launcher'.

what happens if your users try to open one of the dwgs?

1. By double clicking in windows explorer

2. By 'open' command in AutoCAD

Once they have a drawing open, does the icon show?

It's possible that they just don't have the icon stored on their machine for some reason.

Here's an article for how to change a filetype icon in windows 7, 8 & 10 (requires additional free software to make the changes) https://www.maketecheasier.com/change-file-type-icon-in-windows/

This is a little off. I solved this issue by doing the following:

 

Right Click on any .dwg file > Properties > General Tab > Change the "Opens with" from "Unknown App" to "AutoCAD DWG Launcher" > OK

 

That worked for me.

This did not fix the issue.

I used this method to correct the icon file location. This issue occurred after install autocad 2022 and remove 2021. The icon location remained as 2021 folder. So edited with FileTypesMan software.

Changing the default app from the context menu didn't work for me but doing the same  from Windows Settings > Aplicactios > Default Apps sorted out the issue.
