Not that i remember, it started before 2 days and its intermittent. Sometimes the icons appears again after 2 or 3 reboots or restarting the File Explorer services for 5 to 6 times. I tried uninstalling the latest windows update as well, but no luck.
One of my friend has also noticed the same on someone else's laptop, so it's not just me.

you can try refreshing your Windows from the settings. I would do that cause that problem seems to be so annoying- yashsedaniNov 17, 2019Brass ContributorYes, may be the systems are infected. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Symantec Endpoint Protection as well. The Symantec policies are also in place. As of now 4 users from my organization has reported this issue, expecting more on Monday.
I will try to create a new user profile to see if it resolves the issue. Let me know if you have any further suggestions.
Thanks a lot!- HotCakeXNov 17, 2019MVPYou're welcome.

he does pretty good tests on AV products.
you can try Kaspersky Internet security free trial (30 days), update it and do a full scan, see if it detects anything.
it looks like a malware is spreading in your network
