All icons have question mark on them?

Post by indignant_juicer »

I can't remember a time when these were not there. I am new to XYplorer. How can I fix this? What is causing this? Thanks!

These are icon overlays stemming from some other app registered in your system, or atavistic traces of that app. You probably can get rid of them in XYplorer by unticking this: Configuration | General | Refresh, Icons, History | Icons | Show icon overlays

Do you see them in File Explorer as well?

No, they were not in file explorer, just in xyplorer. Your suggestion worked, so thanks. Does it have anything to do with source control installed?

Maybe, but why question marks? Whatever it is, it's only in the 32-bit branch of the registry. Hence they don't show in 64-bit File Explorer.
