Hello,

I have a weird problem with some icons of my taskbar, which are shortcuts to downloads, images, music, videos and documents.
Sometimes, the icons change as seen below. It seems totally random (although it is probably not). The problem has been occuring since the launch of Windows 11. The issue disappears when I reboot my PC, until it happens again. I really don't know what would cause this.
A few months ago, I did a clean reinstall of W11, which did not solve the issue. My W11 is up to date.
