After updating to windows 11, the option to customize "Choose a file to show on this folder icon" does not change the folder's display image even after applying, I have tried the solutions displayed here " https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/all/folder-icon-thumbnails-broken-windows-11-pro/0e60c9ee-e5f0-4e6d-80c9-42cf2f89752e " but it did not solve the issue, I also do not have the option to revert to windows 10 where this problem never occurred

There hasn't been a user customization-friendly Windows since Win7
All the latter Win systems have been set up for commercial use.
Do we really need a computer to tell us what we need or want?
I thought the purpose of an OS was to make it easier for us to make
the computer do what we want or need it to do.
Lately, I have been thinking about building a new computer with Haiku as
the OS.
Agree that Windows 11 has made working difficult-- especially for those of us who rely on images for identifying folders and items quickly!
I totally agree...obviously MS doesn't want to fix this as this has been an issue for well over year. They don't care about their customers. They know they have are a monopoly and most of us will suffer with MS over Apple.
Sorry l misread the post. I found out how to keep desktop folders closed with no picture on the front. I'll have a look at it again.
I agree. Give me back W7, so easy to use. Microsoft could always offer us the CHOICE to allow changes before interfering. DUH! In my opinion they are protecting their jobs by introducing problems which which they they solve with unworkable tech rubbish, thus ensuring that we need them.
