by ddos ·

Microsoft today has released Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 21343. The main update of this version is the changes to the system’s built-in icons.

Specifically, it is to change the icons of the file explorer, most of the icons have been modified to the Microsoft smooth design system.

Including this computer, control panel, network, recycle bin, shortcut arrows, folders, folders with pictures, pictures, and disks, etc. have all been replaced with the new icon.

Microsoft plans to continue to complete the replacement of more system-level icons for Windows 10 in the future. At that time, users will find more icons in the new version after the upgrade.

Since last year, Microsoft has first replaced the built-in application icons, and since then Microsoft has continued to update and adjust the icons in the Windows 10 system.

It is conceivable that Windows 10 system has many icons. Over time, Microsoft will replace more icons with new versions based on the smooth design system.
