I recently upgraded to 11.6.1 and I'm seeing incorrect icon associations with various files on multiple media. What I mean is, image and video file icons have the wrong icon images. They're not all wrong, just some. Any way I can fix this? Thanks for any help.
You may want to try and restore the icon services cache.
Paste the following lines in a Terminal window. The first will ask you for your password; type it (blindly - there is no feedback) when requested and press enter.
sudo rm -rfv /Library/Caches/com.apple.iconservices.store
sudo find /private/var/folders/ \( -name com.apple.dock.iconcache -or -name com.apple.iconservices \) -exec rm -rfv {} \;
sleep 3
killall Dock; killall Finder

..Could also be a simple matter of a restart, and let your Mac
consider a partial self-solve break while digesting a half-hour
in solitary.. ~ Let it sit and run in 'Safe mode' for awhile..

(Or try the "Force Quit" under Apple icon menu, where you can
'Quit Finder'. Sometimes it works a special magic, & no restart.)
Should you have tried these, then' Terminal access' is recommended.
