    HDDs icons with big red X

    Rebuilding the icon cache was the first thing I tried. Actually, I did that before starting this thread. I also tried SFC /scannow and DISM — both TNA. Even Icaros didn't fix it.

    As to the OneDrive suggestion, unfortunately it made things worse.

    First I unlinked my PC from OneDrive. Before I restarted the system I checked the desktop and found that the icons changed and showed the apps and folder icons with some sort of system default overlay.

    Then I restarted the system and the issue was still there.

    But now I have the executables shortcuts icons shown on the desktop as a blank icon. The exception is the IrfanView shortcut icon, which, like the other icons, shows a sort of blank overlay (it seems to be related to the arrow overlay). PDF files and internet shortcuts also show that. Images and files shortcuts icons (like TXT) are normal.

    Desktop now

    The taskbar too shows a blank icon for most shortcuts.

    This new thing can be seen elsewhere on the system, but with some details. When Explorer is set to show Small icons, List, and Details, those new issues appear. The other viewing options show the icons normally.

    Explorer in Details view

    Well, I guess the problem is with icons only, not related to HDDs and stuff.

  3. Red X on Pictures Folder - Why?

    Hi Dave:

    A while ago the little red x also appeared to the left of the OneDrive Cloud icon. I then realized I was over quota so I signed up for and purchased the next level of storage space which far exceeds the overall size of the OneDrive folder. The red x remains
    to the left side of the OneDrive folder. There are no syncing errors indicated and everything seems to be in working order.

    Any idea why the red x remains?

    Thanks Again,

    Eric

    Red circle with a x in it on my Documents icon?

    Hi Belinda

    Do you use OneDrive to back your documents up to the Cloud?

    That red circle with an X indicates not all files in that folder have been synced to the Cloud . . .

    If you hover your mouse pointer over the OneDrive icon on your Taskbar, you will be able to see what file(s) contained in that folder, that OneDrive is unable to sync . ..
