Windows 10: How do we get Microsoft to fix the decade-old bug in rendering large desktop icons?

This bug has been present for more than a decade. Rebuilding the icon cache does nothing. My display drivers are not the issue. Windows simply doesn't know how to handle icons rendered any larger than the default at 1920 x 1080. I guess my question is: how do we make them actually fix this? Because there's nothing the users can do except suffer with terrible apps that you can't distinguish with a glance.

Remove Linux Desktop Icons

I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.

 

Windows 10: transparent icon bug in thumbnail preview

I can confirm the issue exists and is reproducible in Windows 10.





It appears to be a bug in the thumbnail code for Windows. I've used IconExtract to review the icons in notepad.exe and don't see any problem within them.





The code that renders the thumbnail inside the folder image appears to have a bug.

I'm not sure what other answer to provide.

I would recommend submitting the details of this bug through the Microsoft Feedback Hub.

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a test folder
  
• Within the test folder, create another folder the folder.
  
• Within the folder folder, right-click and create a New Text Document.
  
• Give the new file a name and change the file extension of the New Text Document to a random extension. I used new text document.srt.
  
• Try to open the new text document.srt file you created and Windows will prompt for which program to open it with. Choose to always open with Notepad.exe.
  
• Change your folder view to Large, or Extra Large icons. Observe that the new text document.srt file displays the notepad thumbnail properly.
  
• Navigate up to the test folder and change your view to Large, or Extra Large icons. Observe that the notepad thumbnail is not displayed properly for the folder thumbnail.
