Windows 11 Folder custom Icon Issue

Thanks however, it's like Microsoft is listening, but met us halfway. Yes, we customize to show a file on the folder icon but you can only see half. Which is still not enough. Well, not sure for everyone else but my issue is that I have thousands of files organized appropriately but I can't memorize all the names. My only way of navigating to search certain files is by looking at a picture of a file on the folder. Without it I'm lost. I'm having to go back to an older PC take a screen shot of the file list (by med cion view) and save it in grouped folders.

That is what I have been writing about since Page 1 of this thread! It's frustrating!

I don't understand Microsoft and why they make all these changes then give options to revert back to "the way it was" in an older version I am so sick of the changes they've made in W11. Can't customize folder or app icons. And when you can, the icon picture disappears and you have a white box for the app. I'm a visual person, I need every folder and app to have an icon that can see and know what it is, without looking at the text. And W11 has totally screwed up my productivity. I would honestly like to go back to W7 view. At least my icon stayed when I clanged them on a folder or app.

I totally agree!

Me too!

My apologies. I read it as users wanting to close the folder so that no picture showed and the folder front remains plain. That is what I was trying to solve.

I love that after two years this issue hasn't been solved. There's the option to change the icon and it doesn't do anything.
Interesting.
