    Power issues and funny blue arrows on my files and folders


    I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10 Pro. After I shut down for the evening (at a full charge) when I come back after a day or two the battery is fully drained. I have checked my power settings and they seem fine. Since this has been happening I notice little blue arrows on my folders and files. I'm not sure what these are, but get the feeling that even after a shut down my computer is trying to sync to something. I do use Google Drive file stream. Anyone know if these two issues are related? And if so, how to stop it.

    :)

    Blue Arrows on folder and file icons

    Original title :- Blue Arrows on icons

    After clean install of Windows 10 build 10565 folders and files on the drives have Blue Arrows on icons. One solution I found is to disable - compression . Then one compromises with the disk space . How to get rid of these arrows? These arrows has no relation
    with Norton in this build's scenario. Build has this bug.

    Double Blue Arrows that point at each other = Compression:

    Originally, this feature was fantastic.

    Previously, compression was indicated simply and optionally by turning the file/folder name blue.
