The presence of a magnifying glass icon on every desktop shortcut is typically due to system settings or third-party applications.

Likely a program such as antivirus software is involved.

I verified that there were no unusual issues. Restarting the PC resolved the problem. Hopefully, you can clarify what was happening.

I've seen this before too. It disappeared after a couple of days. Perhaps Microsoft is monitoring our activity closely.

You're experiencing the same problem, which seems unrelated to your current usage. It might be a software glitch or a display issue. Since you're on Windows 11, check for updates or try restarting your PC to see if it resolves the issue. If not, consider consulting the manufacturer's support or checking system logs for more details.
