    It’s a bug in windows. Just right click the desktop and hit refresh

    If you can’t get it to go away, there are tools that let you change the shortcut icon arrow, you can reset it with those. Usually a reboot will fix it, but I have had them get stuck before

    It means he has a hidden porn folder

    Its looking like that shortcut icon (arrow) is replaced by this blue octopus or whatever it is

    Probably needs a new Gpu, CPU and mobo. And dont forget to update his bios. ‘Average Reddit comment’.

    You need go to the dungeon and sell artifact in shop

  7. Click the desktop, press F5. It’ll vanish.

    Windows 11… 10… 8.1… 8… 7… Vista…XP… and 2000 *all* have problems with shortcut icon overlays. It’s unreal how MSFT can’t fix it after two and half decades!

  8. The “link” arrow icon that is usually overlayed got replaced somehow.

    What in the world could cause a Moonlighter symbol to pop up like that. I wonder if some has changed an icon in your icon library. Is that even possible? I must test.

  10. I had this problem too. My icons started to change every second or so and then just stopped at a random image. After refreshing it was gone but still very weird

    A similar thing happens sometimes when I turn on my university vpn but with red locks. I thought I was hacked but no, it just goes away after i restart the pc.

    Don’t know what it is but what I know is that you’re based for having Persona 5 Royal there 🙂

    My question, why do they still have Bethesda.Net Launcher ??? That shits been dead for years now, and everything migrated to steam.

  14. Right-click on your desktop and click “refresh”.

    Any icon that usually appears on your desktop shortcuts like this should go away after doing that, very very minor inconvenience, just sometimes apps just… do that… for some reason.

    This is a bug with windows that started with win10… just hit F5 (while focused on desktop, not any other app) and it resolves

    He changed the shortcut icon for that icon.
