  2. The "change icon" bug

    For anybody who hasn't seen the back-and-forth on this bug, it involved changing the icon on a desktop folder containing shortcuts to a collection of Win10 utilities. The systems to be madly in love with the Control Panel icon and absolutely refuses to
    let it be changed. This bug is more than annoying; it's infuriating in its stubborn refusal to let the icon be changed.

    Is anybody working fixing this thing?

    Preview pane not working for documents in windows 10

    Have tried this repeatedly but it does not help. In addition to the Preview not working, I am unable to change the screen view - I usually set it on Details but often scroll through the Large Icons, Small Icons, or Extra Lg Icons but all the choices are
    greyed out and I am unable to change them. BTW, when I said this problem started after I upgraded win10, this was not a upgrade from Win 7 or 8 to Win10. It was a upgrade to the Win10 Home that came with my laptop.\

    Thanks,

    Larry
