Old media hard drive connected to a fresh clean installation of Windows 10 Pro.
I installed Windows 10 and replaced my Western Digital HDD with a green SSD that holds all my movies and videos. Everything seems fine. The issue arises when I attempt to modify the icon or thumbnail for any folder—it doesn’t update and remains stuck on the default icons. This only happens with that specific drive, while changing icons for other folders on my SSD works correctly.
the issue isn't linked to the drive or my computer. even after installing a brand new hdd, cleaning it, reinstalling windows, and reinserting the drive, you won't be able to alter the folder icons unless you clear the icons cache each time you change a folder and restart. if i create a new folder on that drive, the problem disappears. also, moving large collections of movies and videos (50 to 80 gb) is challenging because they take up significant space.
