Windows 10 has a funny error, displaying the wrong USB drive icon

A rather humorous bug has just been discovered on Windows 10 1903, causing icons of all USB drives connected to the device to be displayed incorrectly in File Explorer, even though they are correctly identified.

Specifically, when you plug the USB drive into the computer, at first, Windows will display the usual storage device icon as follows:

However, after only a few minutes, the drive's icon in File Explorer will change and begin to use the storage drive icon incorrectly as shown below.

However, after only a few minutes, the drive's icon in File Explorer will change and start displaying the incorrect illustration below.

Although the icon has been changed, Windows 10 still identifies the right device that has just been connected via USB (including both removable storage and mobile devices).

This problem was first discovered and reported by computer expert Günter Born, before a series of other Windows 10 users caught the same phenomenon and shared their findings on several online forums. Big routes like Reddit and Microsoft Answers Community.

It is still unclear how this bug has appeared on Windows 10, but the first reports have been recorded since 5 days ago. According to the research, this problem only appears when the download of metadata and custom icons for installed devices is enabled in the "Device installation settings" section. The reason is probably because Microsoft recently made a few server changes on its terminal server, replacing the old USB drive icon in Windows with the new one.

It must be affirmed that this is not a big problem, but Microsoft should still make reasonable changes to make its operating system platform more perfect.
