Windows 10: USB Flash drive Icons not showing/displaying properly

for some unknown reason all the USB flash drive I insert into my PC show up like in the picture.



the thing is I put custom Icons on all of them, and they still show up like this, I tried them on other PC's and the custom Icons actually show.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

Hi, discussed here:
Strange USB-Drive Icons

I searched the forum for
flash drive icons
- but I knew this is quite a common thing which I see too in 1903.

 

USB Flash drive made bootable

Hi Nelson,

Check if there is any slide switch on the side that provides write protection. It show's a closed and open lock on each side. We suggest to follow these steps below:

• Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port.
• Click Start, type devmgmt.msc in the Search textbox and press Enter.
• Find Disk Drives and expand it.
• Find the USB flash drive you want to format, and double-click it. It opens the
  Properties dialog box.
• Click Policies tab.
• By default, the Optimize for quick removal option selected, switch it to Optimize for performance and then press
  OK.
• Now open Computer. Right click on the USB Flash Drive and select Format. The Format dialog box now appears.
• Select NTFS in the File System field.
• Press Start and wait while the process will be completed.

You can also connect the USB drive on a different computer and try formatting.

Let us know how it goes.
