All of my icons have disappeared after an update; I tried selecting different icon themes but still no icons are showing up when I log in.

no icons

Try running sudo dpkg --configure -a in a terminal. It worked for me. — I Give Answers, Nov 19, 2017 at 0:28

This is a mime cache issue resolved using

sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

and performed logout and then login, now all icons are back

I add the same ! I was caused by a fail update of linux kernel. My /boot folder was full.

To check that : In a terminal, type

df /boot

if it is full (100%), you can clean it using this tutorial : http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/05/remove-old-kernels-ubuntu-16-04/ Look at "Remove Old Kernels via DPKG".
