Old Windows-8-style BD-ROM icon in Windows 10 after clean install

Hello,

Thank you for posting your concern here in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family. I would be happy to assist you on this issue.

From the description of the issue, I understand that the icon of the E: Drive does not display correct.

Kindly follow the below steps and check if it helps.

A. Press Windows Key and R from the keyboard to open the Run Command Dialog Box

B. Type Regedit in the command bar to open the Registry Editor window.

C. Follow the path:

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer

D. Under this key, you'll find a key "DriveIcons". Delete it and log off or restart your Windows.

Important: Please create a back up of the registry before proceeding.

Thank You.

Thank you for your quick response. I did everything, but it changed nothing.

The icon of the E: drive is the same. It seems the system uses both icons at the same time.

Maybe was my clean install just not «clean» enough?

I've formatted drive C: with quick format before installation.

I can also confirm that I am affected by this issue. Likewise, I am on a clean install of Windows 10 64-bit.

I can confirm that the .dll files that the icons are stored in under the Windows directory are not fully up to date with the Windows 10 reworked icons. The imagesp1.dll icon pack contains the [old] assorted Blu-ray drive icons, as well as the HDDVD icons. The imageres.dll icon pack contains all the [new] up to date Windows 10 icons - included in there is updated DVD icons, however, none specific to Blu-ray drives.

It would be greatly appreciated if this can be pushed to the dev team to implement suitable up to date icons.

It seems to be a rare problem. My product ID is 00330-80181-25225-AA809, what is yours?

I don't think it's that rare, there are a few other reports on the Windows 10 sub-reddit where other people have the issue. It is only an issue because we, as users, have a Blu-ray drive. If you had a DVD drive, it would most likely be the new Windows 10 DVD drive icon.

To simply put it, when the developers decided to revamp the icons, either they forgot to update some (in this case, the Blu-ray drive icon, there may be even more, who knows?) or they chose to cut corners.

Product ID has little information on this sort of stuff, we both clean installed, so the icon isn't even there in the first place!

I too have a BD-ROM drive which I only usually use for watching Blu Ray movies. Strangely, the BD icon for a video BD has been updated as part of the new imageres.dll while the empty drive icon in imagesp1.dll is still the old style.

I  was getting annoyed at seeing the old-style icon so, I made my own, by combining a few of the others from the new style:

I didn't want to go messing around with the icons inside the DLL, so I just created the single empty drive icon as an ICO file.

Using this trick (option 3): http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/65828-drive-icon-change.html I've set the empty drive icon for my BD-ROM to use my custom icon (saved in C:\Users\Public so all accounts have access to it). And now everything matches, which I find very satisfying.

If anyone would like the ICO file I've created, you can grab it here: http://1drv.ms/1KdIjkk

Thanks for the icon, it is a useful workaround, however I feel as if this should have never been missed off in the first place. Whilst for majority of the more experienced technical users are happy to tinker with registries, there are many consumers who do not and asking users to "poke around the insides" is unreasonable.

I hope it was simply missed off the list by accident, and it'll be implemented soon.
