File Explorer changes its icons

Microsoft has updated the insider version of Windows 10 on the Dev channel. The new version offers a redesign of many icons, especially in File Explorer.

Microsoft is preparing for an aesthetic redesign of Windows 10 in the coming months Codenamed Sun Valley. Over updates Version Insider At the Dev channel, these aesthetic changes take shape, and the latest, built-in 21343 is a great example.

Conversion to File Explorer

Over the years, Microsoft has adopted a new one Design language Named the Fluffy Design. The company updated more than 50 icons of its organization in 2020 to start integrating everything under one aesthetic banner. With built-in 21343, Microsoft handles file explorer. This will find all the new icons for the “Documents”, “Music” or “Downloads” folders.

No change in functionality was mentioned in this update. So we have the file explorer we currently know in Windows 10.

Of the icons involved, some already had the right to redesign, especially since the recycle bin was due to pour a lot of ink on the insiders of Windows 10 during the 2015 transition. We hope Microsoft will also take the time to remove the very old icons, especially Windows XP or earlier.

Big issues for video games

Be careful if you are a member of the Insider program, there is a share of known issues in this new framework. In particular, there is a problem that can prevent games from installing properly or syncing their backups.
