OneDrive Question - New folders that I add to my Documents folder only have green checkmarks ...........

Hello.

OneDrive Questions .....................

Prior to yesterday all my associated OneDrive folders had solid green icons. Life was good in OneDrive.

--------------------

1. My Documents folder is NOW a green checkmark instead of solid green as I expected.

Now NEW folders that I create on the desktop and drag and dump to my Documents folder only have green checkmarks instead a solid green checkmark that I was expecting to occur. See below JPGs.

2. The two new folders I created only have the green checkmark icon instead of solid green icon as expected. See below JPG.

3. The same 2 new folders I created with green checkmarks also have a "blue burst" icon.

What does this "blue burst" folder icon mean and how do I correct the 2 folders? See JPG below.

4. I copied some JPGs to my hard drive and a couple of the JPGs have solid green icons and some have green checkmark. Why is that? How do I repair? See JPG below.

-----------------

5. I poked around online for an answer and I keep seeing resource after resource from multiple sources (Microsoft Tech Support included) that all say "it doesn't matter whether my folder and file icons are solid green with white checkmark or white with green checkmark because they mean the same thing".

-----------------

***If the 2 possible different folder icons mean the same thing, then why are there 2 different folder icon options. Makes no sense to me. The 2 different checkmark icons have to mean something different to the O/S, even if only slightly ***

Hopefully my questions and attached JPGs make sense.

Thank you for your time and assistance. Greatly appreciated.
