Windows 10 Bug Causes USB Drives to Show the Wrong Icon
#1
Information 
Quote:A new bug in Windows 10 1903 is causing USB drives to use the wrong icon in File Explorer even though the drives are clearly being detected properly.
 
In the current version of Windows 10 1903 installed, when you insert a USB thumb drive into your computer, Windows will at first display the normal storage device icon for it.

After a few minutes, the drive's icon in File Explorer will change and begin to incorrectly use a generic storage icon as shown below.

Switched to generic icon
 
While the icon has changed, Windows 10 is still detecting the device properly as both a storage device and a portable device.
