    Windows 10 Icons Won't Change


    I made custom icons for my desktop and a couple of them show but some, like Spotify and File Explorer remain the same. These icons have changed upon restarting my PC a few times but these will show up like this every once and a while. I need assistance with this, as it's very frustrating.

    :)

    Change Folder Icon in Windows 10


    I just acquired a new laptop running Windows 10 and am trying to change the icons of the folders in the StartUp "Program" folder so that they would stand out a little better. I used my admin account and followed all the steps listed above, but when I clicked on "Apply", nothing happened. The same basic windows folder icon remained attached to the folder. I also tried to go into Properties and capitalize some of the folder names, but that didn't work either. Looks like something is protecting them, but I cannot figure out what it is much less how to get around this blockage, Any suggestions?

    Windows 10 desktop icons not in order

    In ccleaner, did you uncheck cleaning the icon cache... have not used in a while; however, I think that is what the option is called.

    Now, if you are setting the icons and they move after you have set the settings and not changed them... you may have the "Random Windows 10 Icon movement problem".
    Some people have this and some don't.

    Here is a thread on the problem at Windows10 forums: Windows 10: Folder View Settings and Desktop Icon Positions Not Saving

    Why won't the file preview icon change?: I had a file called "red_cursor.cur". I deleted that and made a new "red_cursor.cur". Now the image preview is still the old "rec_cursor.cur". Changing the name fixes it, but I don't want to do that. Why won't the icon update?...
