Friends: Without comment on the messiness of my Desktop, please.

My 'good' Desktop looks like this:

The little green dots desirably tells me which files Carbonite has backed up. Regularly, but for unknown reasons, those dots change to this:

When I refresh the screen like so:

... I get back to 'good' again:

Any suggestions on how I can stay at 'good'?

Strangely enough, sometimes right clicking on the desktop and choosing "refresh" often works with icon overlays.
I have also restated explorer.exe, strangely enough again, also can correct overlay issues.
As can cleaning the icon cache

This tutorial will show you how to rebuild the icon cache to clear and reset it for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11. The icons that display for files in Windows are saved in an icon cache so they can be displayed quickly instead of having to manually scan and slowly load them each...

I don't think this Green Tick is from OneDrive.

I'm currently not on my Win 11 machine, but under Win 10, OneDrive's overlays have the Green Ticks on the bottom left corner. This might be Norton.

Does seem like it's a case of competing overlays.

Yeah not OneDrive. The only ones I can find that are remotely like those overlays is for “Dropbox” or “Box cloud backup”.

Whatever they are, they're related to some kind of sync whether the OP knows it or not. Is my opinion.

The odd thing is, Tony uses Carbonite as his cloud backup. I am wondering if he is also using OneDrive, maybe doesn't realise?

I've done my very best to exorcize OneDrive from my computers. Of course, was added automatically on Win 10 upgrade. I had to turn it off and delete as best possible.

I've been without OneDrive for quite a while but it suddenly reappeared with the last update (22631.4391). At least it didn't mess with my folders this time. I'll have to see how long it is before it makes a return.

I've done my very best to exorcize OneDrive from my computers. Of course, was added automatically on Win 10 upgrade. I had to turn it off and delete as best possible.

Tony your green ticks are on the bottom right and are solid (very much like the Box overlays)
Solid green ticks for OneDrive have an outer darker green outline to the circle and appear on the left side.

Also, that green tick looks like OneDrive. I don’t see it on the Carbonite fact page I linked to, was my point sorry.

Green dots are from Carbonite. I've now turned them off to see if it resolves the issue I initially posted about. Thank you all.
