I just set up a new Dell with Windows 11 and synced it to my old Win10 computer, also a Dell.
My problem is with desktop icons that call a URL. I have a bunch. They all have custom .ico's
On the Win10, I put them in Downloads and added them to the icon ("change icon" in properties)
from there. Worked great.
On the win11 desktop the shortcuts initialized as blank, so I "changed icon" on each of them from
a copy/paste recreation of Downloads, which didn't sync, but where I was ultimately able to
find them. All set, everything was lovely, just the duplicate I wanted.
Surprise!! When I went back to the old Win10 computer, all those same icons were blank. I reset
some of them and on returning to the Win11, those had become blank there. Trying back and
forth and even renaming a set, no matter what, each .ico image would only show up on ONE
computer. Note that blank or with .ico, all the underlying shortcuts functioned properly.
Any ideas?
