    How can I change the shortcut arrow icon into something else on windows 11

    Cross arrow shortcuts are shown on the icons after the November upgrade.

    Hi Cemal,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    To understand the issue better, I suggest you to answer the below questions.

    • Are you using any third party software for any shortcuts icons?
    • Is it only for the shortcut apps or any other apps?
    • Are you facing any issues with the arrows above on the shortcuts?
    Please post us back with more information to help you better.
