Thank you.

I'm also disappointed with this change; I enjoyed the somewhat retro look of the old folder icons. (That said, I'm much more concerned about losing access to uBlock Origin, which I fear will happen within a few months.)
Same problem here, It sucks
It is the same on other browsers. Chrome and Opera.
There was a recent Windows update and then the problem occurred.

I'm afraid I must respectfully disagree. I do not have any recent Windows updates that coincide with this.
This happened to me with Edge update Version 131.0.2903.112. I noticed it first on my Windows 11 machine.
I then checked my Windows 10 machine running Edge version 131.0.2903.99 and it still had yellow folders. As soon as it updated to 131.0.2903.112, the yellow folders were gone and replaced with the new transparent ones.

As another user has already mentioned, it's not related to a Windows update. I'm on Mac.
It's a change in the latest Edge update. Sure there was one of those unfortunate brainstorming sessions of some wannabe UX designers. "Look, both Chrome and Opera have these ugly folder icons, why should we be better than them??"
Btw, in Firefox, Brave, and Vivaldi the default folder icons can be changed to custom ones (it requires some trickery, but it can be done). If the Edge team doesn't restore the yellow icons (or provide an option to do so), then maybe it's time to abandon Edge for other browsers.
