Windows 10: Custom folder icons on Networked drives

I have literally hundreds of folders on several networked drives that I created custom icons for. As of the 22H2 Windows 11 Pro update, they have all disappeared. If I roll back the update, they all appear again. Has anyone else encountered this, and does anyone have a fix for it?

How to change icons of network share folders?

Okay, I may be under-complicating this, but I use shortcuts to my network shares very effectively, to give each shared folder its own distinctive icon. That's what larc919 suggested in #3 above.

I have a folder of Network shortcuts in my Start menu apps list, and each shortcut bears its own badge.

Am I missing something about your request?
