Can you not do a windows System-Restore?

I'm having the same problem too after updating from 10 to 11. Refills, Combinator and RE patches are missing icons. I tried clearing the thumbnail cache, as suggested elsewhere, but didn't have any luck. Really annoying.

I noticed the same. Maybe it comes from the uninstall of 10. I try a reinstall... Well, this didn't happened with the last update so i would call it a bug. Anybody already made a bug report?

It has something to do with the installers program registration.
This workaround worked for me:
1. Type "regedit" in the Run line or from an elevated CMD prompt.
2. Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications and find Reason.
3. Navigate under its name to shell>open>command.
4. Under Default, make sure the application location points to the actual location of Reason 11.
(it showed Reason 10 and I corrected it to Reason 11)
5. Press OK and then try and reassociate (via control panel) the file type as you normally would.

Reinstalling Reason 11 fixed the missing icon pictures.

I am having the same or similar problem as OP. Did you sort it out earwig?
I had R10 & R11Suite side by side for a couple weeks. Recently removed R10 ....Haven't seen a .repatch icon ever since.
Have:
-Installed/Uninstalled/Reinstalled: R7, 8, 9, 10, 11...
-Tried the Reg thing
-Tried using CMD prompt to reset file associations
-used disk cleanup to delete thumbnails
Nothing works for me. The only thing I haven't tried yet is a hammer.
Feel like this must be a R11Suite/Windows bug or something? idk. diving me crazy

Have you guys checked with regedit if there's entries like these on your Registry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Reason.repatch\DefaultIcon
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Reason.repatch\DefaultIcon
Using the .repatch extension as an example, but all extensions should be close together in the key tree, since all have this "Reason.extension" format.
If you don't have them, that's the issue.
If you do, the content should have something like (depending on your version and install path and in this example, the Icon ID is -253):
C:\Program Files\Propellerhead\Reason Suite 11\Reason Suite.exe,-253
That's for "lost icons".
For lack of associated application, in that same extension registry key, there's a:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Reason.repatch\shell\open\command
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Reason.repatch\shell\open\command
That should have something similar to:
C:\Program Files\Propellerhead\Reason Suite 11\Reason Suite.exe "%1"
Basically, an export on those 2 example keys would look like this:
If you're missing those keys, try to put the above piece of text into a "fixRepatch.reg" text file and import through regedit, close it and see if you now can see an icon on the .repatch files and those are being opened by Reason. If yes, well... you know what you have to do for the rest of the extensions

and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Reason.repatch\DefaultIcon

But i feel like you've shown me what will eventually fix it. 
can you tell me what is the data you have for:
Code: Select all
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.repatchThanks again for chiming in you are a great help!

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.repatch
Thanks again for chiming in you are a great help!
Check the "code" block on my previous post, that's the data I have: "Reason.repatch"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.repatch]
@="Reason.repatch"
It's where the ".repatch" extension connects to the "Reason.repatch" registry token that has the relevant settings for the Icon and Open

The easy Win 10 fix for me was right click one of the disassociated files, got to "Open With" check the "Always open with" check box, then scroll down to where it lets you look for and point to the Reason .exe, this instantly restored the reason icons on files associated with it.

Dude, apologies, started typing out a reply before realizing you had it covered, lol.Neo wrote: ↑20 May 2020Just ran into this issue after updating from 10 to 11 Suite myself.
<My temporary fix here>
Search your Hard Drive using *.repatch (as an example)
Right Click and select "open with"
Scroll down the menu
Select "Look for another app on this PC"
Point your way to the Reason exe and you should be ok.
Should all the icons be the same? ehhh.. maybe its not a fix after all^

I just tried a reinstall and no change.

Dang, that's something I did not notice, agreed not a fix.
Windows 10 has done this several times with several apps, always goes like this but not all apps:
1. Install new version of app that installs parallel rather than direct upgrade
2. uninstall old app
3. File icons borked!
4Why?!
