    USB default ICON has changed in Explorer - how to get it back?


    Hello.
    After a crash while updating, and a "windows 10 selfrepair", my Windows now seens to run okay again. Execpt when I put an USB stick in the PC it has an icon for a DVD?? It is not a specific USB-stick. Any USB-stick shows up as a DVD in Explorer and in TotalCommander.

    How do I change that back?

    :)

    Hi Arani,

    If you want to change back the apps icon to default, follow the steps below:

    • Click on the Start menu. It's the Windows logo on the bottom left corner of your screen.
    • Click on Settings.
    • Click on System.
    • Click on Default apps.
    • Click on the app you want to change under the category of Choose default apps.
    • Click on the app you want to make the default.

      or
    • Under Choose default apps, you can click Reset to the Microsoft recommended defaults to change back all the apps to default.

    Let us know if you need further assistance and we will be glad to help.

    USB default ICON has changed in Explorer - how to get it back?

    Mine also changed recently but I don't even know what the icon I have is supposed to be... No answer for you I'm afraid. I suppose a repair install would fix it but it seems a bit drastic...

    Have you tried to clear your Icon cache from C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local and delete IconCache.db and all the iconcache files in C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer then restart. Some of the files might require you to take ownership or boot from a live Windows DVD/USB before they can be deleted and can also try safe mode
