  1. Windows icons, is it ok to change them?


    I recently changed my icons to some i liked more with an automated installer easy stuff i found in the internet but there is a small voice inside my head telling me that "it will brick your 3000 euro laptop mate, lost autocad etc" so what are your opinions? I have had the icons changed for a week so far , done some cumulative updates , everything runs as usual. Should i absolutely unistall this?

    GPU-Z Program Icon Submission

    Suggestion to have an option to change Notification Area icon this way too.
    Suggestion to finally have proper separate Options window like most (all?) Windows programs do.

    Windows icons, is it ok to change them?

    Cannot change desktop icon

    Sometimes a desktop icon changes from what it was to a plain white folder. Might be something I did but not sure what.

    To change it to the icon I want, I go:
    1. Rt-click icon > Properties > Change icon
    2. I select the icon I want from the thumbnails of icons.
    3. Click OK
    4. Click Apply
    But the icon does not change. It just stays looking like a white folder.
    HOWEVER, if I pin the icon to the taskbar, the icon on the taskbar does look like the icon I selected in step-2. So the change is registered with Win10 but the icon on the desktop just doesn't change.

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

  9. Why have the taskbar "link" icons changed?

    in Windows 10 Gaming
    Why have the taskbar "link" icons changed?: When I open any browser the icons on the bookmarks show easily recognizable icons. When I go to the "links" on the taskbar the icons mostly show as globes. Somehow they got changed. How can I get them back?...
