Which exact Global Theme and Icon theme do you use?
FWIW: not reproducible here with Breeze Dark Global Theme and Icons. I tend to think this is a bug in another theme


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

Before posting here, I opened a topic on the archlinux forum.
Here I explain everything.

I have the same issue, changed to a few different global themes and still have the same issue.
The current global theme is openSUSE, Plasma Style is Breeze Dark, and Icons are Breeze.

Same HP 8570P using a live stick of 15.1 showing all the icons. I'll make another stick with 15.2 later.

The global them is openSUSE, Plasma Style is Oxygen, and the icons are Breeze.

In both cases you have a diffferent Qt and Frameworks version than me, I suggest you file a bug for this.

Re: KinfoCenter missing icons

No Problem, I had the same inconvenience (sometimes) and made for myself a "TuTo". You can use each "*.png" 128x128 px Here is:

Note: That's text of "*.md" file (Donwnload-n-install-logos.md) written with "kate", you can insert this text in (e.g.) "typora" and export it in PDF.


[Donwnload-n-install-logos.md](https://askubuntu.com/questions/945531/ ... infocenter).

### See additional infos on: [KDE git](https://cgit.kde.org/kinfocenter.git/) & [XDG Base Directory Specification](https://standards.freedesktop.org/based ... atest.html).

**1.** Where to find on web and machine:
* Web:
```
https://kde.org/stuff/clipart.php

https://kde.org/stuff/clipart/logo/plas ... lorful.svg
https://kde.org/stuff/clipart/logo/plas ... 28x128.png

https://kde.org/stuff/clipart/logo/plas ... chrome.svg
https://kde.org/stuff/clipart/logo/plas ... 28x128.png
```
* Location of actual/standard Logos:
```
file:///usr/share/icons/breeze-dark/apps/22/plasma.svg
file:///usr/share/icons/breeze/apps/22/plasma.svg
file:///usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/splash/images/plasma.svgz

file:///usr/share/icons/breeze-dark/places/16/start-here-kde.svg
file:///usr/share/icons/breeze-dark/places/22/start-here-kde.svg
file:///usr/share/icons/breeze-dark/places/64/start-here-kde.svg
file:///usr/share/icons/breeze/places/16/start-here-kde.svg
file:///usr/share/icons/breeze/places/22/start-here-kde.svg
file:///usr/share/icons/breeze/places/64/start-here-kde.svg

file:///usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kubuntu-circle-128.png
file:///usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/plasma-logo-colorful-128x128.png
file:///usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/plasma-logo-monochrome-128x128.png
```

**Note:** Last two files from above-list are added by myself following this "TuTo".

* If you want tinkering new "background" here 3000x3000 px logos:
```
https://kde.org/stuff/clipart/logo/plas ... 0x3000.png
https://kde.org/stuff/clipart/logo/plas ... 0x3000.png
```

**2.** Download:
* For downloading open Dolphin, choose/create a folder, open terminal-tab in selected folder and...
> issue command `wget` followed by web-link, example:
```
wget https://kde.org/stuff/clipart/logo/plas ... lorful.svg
```

**3.** File to modify:
```
file:///etc/xdg/kcm-about-distrorc
```
* Original content:
```
[General]
LogoPath=/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kubuntu-circle-128.png
Website=http://www.kubuntu.org
Name=Kubuntu

```

**4.** Change Logo in `kinfocenter`, let's start!

**4.1.** Copy downloaded "logos" in place and backup original `kcm-about-distrorc`:
```
sudo cp *.png /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/

sudo cp /etc/xdg/kcm-about-distrorc /etc/xdg/bak-kcm-about-distrorc-bak
```

**4.2.** Let insert the name of new "logo" in the conf-file:

* Open Terminal with (CTRL+ALT+T) and start editor:
```
sudo nano /etc/xdg/kcm-about-distrorc
```
* and insert the only small modification (the name of new logo):
```
[General]
LogoPath=/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/plasma-logo-colorful-128x128.png
Website=http://www.kubuntu.org
Name=Kubuntu

```

* Call now `kinfocenter` over `kickoff` to see the results.

- [x] Done!

### Enjoy!

I wish more people know how to send a bug-report, I don't, this would eliminate all inconsistencies faster.
I wish (besides) more people can offer a quick, very detailed and easy to follow solution, perhaps someone collect/correct(update)/ and publish all useful solutions o)

Did you actually try to send a bug report? It is really not that hard, the guided interface is easy to follow, answer all the questions the best you can, provide as much information as possible and that should be sufficient.

Please for concrete answer with link to bug-report (same) and to instructions (how-to), the automatic-one (in sys-tray) don't really works properly, see this request for help .

Thank-you
