Does my previous reply about locked tree not help with figuring out what's happening? To summarize, with the default tree the folder icons are missing only from the breadcrumb bar, and with a locked tree the folder icons are missing from the breadcrumb bar and the tab header. And we know exactly which version it started happening in!
Some folders no longer have icons on the tabs

"somewhere between 24.40.0200 and 24.50" ain't "exactly".

Re: Some folders no longer have icons on the tabs
Since these are special shell icons, I would recommend a Windows reboot. That should fix it.

Re: Some folders no longer have icons on the tabs
It actually affects ALL the folders within the user profile directory. I've just given a few examples so far. It even affects ordinary folders that I've created myself, which just have a normal folder icon. Anything that I browse to, using the short path, within the user profile folder, is affected. Remember, long path works fine, short path has a problem. I have rebooted today already. And after rebooting, the difference still exists between 24.40.0200 and 24.50 onwards.
Here's another example screenshot, with the normal folder called PycharmProjects within my user profile folder. Remember that there is also a separate/additional bug I've mentioned concerning Locked Tree which also removes the icon from the tab header.
Convincing you of this bug is turning out to be hard work.

Since you always hide your username: Has it any weird characters?

Nope, just normal letters from the English alphabet.

Do you have a portable device with the same name as your username?

Re: Some folders no longer have icons on the tabs
Oh no? Because now I could perfectly reproduce the bug (
!) when I plug in my phone! And fix it, of course.

Re: Some folders no longer have icons on the tabs
Right, hold on, my iPhone actually is charging via my PC. I thought my testing earlier was without it connected. Let me do some tests with and without it connected...

Re: Some folders no longer have icons on the tabs
Yes, I can confirm, it is caused by the iPhone being connected. When I make sure to disconnect my iPhone, then all the icon problems go away.
