Windows 8.1 can alter fonts (to icons also), based on your input language settings.

So first, check input language and make sure it's default.

Then, open a command prompt. Enter the command shell:fonts to open the Windows-Fonts folder.

Click the Text "Font settings". Click the button "Restore default font settings" This also removes all manual changes that you've made to your display settings.

Then, delete C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\IconCache.db. That is the icon cache.

To delete it, open a command prompt, end 'explorer' process, delete the file. The process will reload automatically. If it does not, just type 'explorer' into the command prompt and it will load it back.
