I am using Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (build 10240) and have been since mid-July when the RTM was leaked. So far it has been 100% stable if not exactly bug-free. Thankfully most of the issues are mostly just annoyances and I do not regret upgrading to it.
Anyway to cut a long story story, I decided to use Tweaking.com Windows Repair (All-in-One) v3.5.1 to repair an issue with Windows Update, which until today had been working without fault but then decided to keep reinstalling the same Windows Defender definition table update over and over again after failing then me clicking on Retry. Updating from Windows Defender itself resulted in error 0x8007002. After a bit of research and trying various different things including renaming the catroot2 and SoftwareDistribution folders in the Windows folder, which did not work, I thought before I did a Windows Refresh that I'd have nothing to lose trying the Tweaking.com tool. It did fix a number of parsing errors and incorrect system variables after all.
So I ran the software, choose to reboot into safe mode, as recommended, and let the software run through all of the default repairs. It took about 10-15 minutes then my PC restarted and booted into Windows. Everything appeared exactly as before until I noticed that the Store icon in the taskbar (to the right of the Task View icon) was different. It appeared as a smaller image inside an orange box (orange being the colour from my Windows theme) rather than the larger monochromatic white one prior to doing the repair. It looks ugly and I've found that the Start Menu > All Apps also shows all the icons in boxes and that many of those appear smaller, e.g. the one for the Xbox app which I was using before I ran the repair.
This site here shows what my icon looks like now:

Previously the Store icon looked like the one on the right. I upgraded straight to Windows 10 build 10240 from Windows 8.1 Pro so I have never seen those old-style icons until now.
Here is my desktop:
You can clearly see that the Store icon looks strange alongside the Start, Cortana and Task View icons and how the All Apps icons all appear in boxes. I also opened the Xbox app; previously it was a larger white Xbox symbol on a blank background but now it's a smaller image inside a green box!
Here is what my Store icon *used* to look like pre-repair:
Does anyone know why the icons look like this and how to fix it please? I am appreciate that the software fixed my Windows Update/Windows Defender issue but it seems to have another issue in the process unfortunately, albeit a fairly trivial one.
Many thanks.
