    I have the same exact version 131.0.2903.112 (Official build) (64-bit) and my folders are still hollow rectangles. This entire thread is a waste of time!

    Not a waste of time at all. After following the instructions about the addition to shortcut target, deactivating the two Edge settings and rebooting (in other words, doing exactly what the thread said), my folders reverted to the desired color. I guess threads waste time if the advice is not followed.

    Noticed the same thing a few days ago and thought I was having a Senior Moment.

    I'm glad to know it's real but discouraged to see that it's just going to be another unsolved Microsoft Mystery.
