As of a few days ago, all of my files on the desktop have a small icon on them - see the first image in the bottom.

  • Why is that extra symbol being added?
  • If a program is adding the icon, how can I find out which program is doing it?

My recently-installed programs list doesn't have anything seemingly relevant - see the second image in the bottom.
Docker could possibly be the source of it, but it's been changed already a week ago and I don't think that this has been happening for so long.

Deleting the Icon Cache didn't help.

Running the System File Checker didn't help either.

I believe the arrows mean the files are being compressed. If you turn off compression in Properties > General > Advanced, do they go away?

  • Yes. Thank you, the duplicate question is the correct answer. Now I just need to figure out why everything started being compressed...
