Microsoft changes more icons in Windows 10 with latest update

Microsoft has unveiled a number of changes arriving in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 21343, which is available to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel.

The first and most prominent change is the addition of new icons in File Explorer. Microsoft has slowly made changes to the icons in Windows 10 over the last year, recently changing the icon for Notepad. Some of the changes to the system icons in File Explorer include the Recycle Bin, Documents folder, and devices like disk drives.

“Several changes, such as the orientation of the folder icons and the default file type icons, have been made for greater consistency across Microsoft products that show files,” Microsoft said in a blog post announcing the changes to the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview. “Notably, the top-level user folders such as Desktop, Documents, Downloads and Pictures have a new design that should make it a littler easier to tell them apart at a glance.”

The changes further modernize Windows 10, and arrive after Microsoft introduced changes to File Explorer that adds additional padding to the default option, and a layout that’s more information-dense.

Microsoft’s changelog for Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 21343 is long and exhaustive, and includes several changes and improvements. You can check out the full list below.
