    I can't customize folder icons anymore


    I was able to customize folder icons but they changed into what looks like an empty folder. I tried restoring them to their original image and customizing it again but the same empty folder appears. The ico files I have just don't seem to work anymore. When I try to customize it with the images the computer gives me though it does but they don't really fit my theme. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

    :)

    Cannot copy folders with their customized icons anymore

    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)?
