What are the differences between "Green tick icons" & "Solid green circle with the white check mark"
I just received a new computer at work. I don't mind the check mark, but since the desktop is backed-up on OneDrive, what is the point ? Every icon has the check even though they are local because they are on my Desktop. It really makes no sense.
The issue I have is I have is I keep a lot of folders on my desktop, some local and some are short cuts. The green check replaced the shortcut symbol so now windows adds 'Shortcut' to the name of the folder or file.
Programs still use the shortcut arrow.
ScottW714 yes it's infuriating. Because these changes are not instigated by us. It's the uncontrollability that drives me nuts. If it were just the green tick mark issue I'd be fine as both of those seem to indicate there is a copy locally and should be backed to One Drive too. But then it changes to cloud based icon when I haven't changed anything my side it drives me nuts.
