    Windows 10 seems to be using old icons


    Hey dudes,

    After many attempts I finally managed to install Windows 10 on my Art Tablet PC ( samsung series 7 slate XE700T1A-A01UK ) and it works perfectly expect one niggle. It would appear that the icons on the desktop are still Win7, I have Win10 installed on my internet computer and the icons are different. Is there any way, if my niggle is correct, to have the icons that I see on the internet PC. There is also a small checkbox on the icon, this happened in the Win7 OS and I was hoping Win10 would get rid of that as I find it annoying, any ideas?

  3. Old desktop screen but Windows 10 seems to be hung.

    After a lengthy download (2 days) most of the Windows 10 system is operative. The main concern I have now is the remaining Apps won't open and that is because Store won't open on my PC. No error code when I depress Store icon. Just a brief flash of a screen
    and back to the Desktop. Anything I can do to get Store to work properly?

    Thanks,

    Mike

    To disable the check box, do this:
    1. Open File Explorer.
    2. Click the View tab.
    3. Uncheck "Item check boxes" (if the window is small, might need to click the "Show/hide" button then uncheck it).

    The icons on the desktop look like Windows 10 icons to me. Can show me an example of a Windows 7 icon on that computer?

    Note that some of the old icons still exist, e.g. Notepad.

    Thank You so much. *Smile

    The Check box uncheck did the trick, that has been bugging me for years. Brilliant, I am so pleased.

    My internet computer installed from win 8.1 and this is what I see....everything outside the desktop environment looks the same i.e. new win10 icons. It's the desktop icons that are different.

    eeerrrrrr, .....Just checked another win7 system and you are right, they are win 10....It appears I had scaled the icons down on the internet PC to the point the icon flattens out, my bad......and thank you for helping me out.

    Best wishes
