    folder icons reverting to default when copied issue

    Since the last Windows 10 update, I cannot copy anymore folders retaining their customized icon: the icon gets reset systematically to the default one. How can I reset this feature to as it was before (i.e. folders were copied with their customized icons)?

    Since I cannot log on anymore, I cannot add these questions to my previous post:

    1 - Has anyone figured out what caused the problem in the new release?

    2- Does anyone know when it will be fixed?
