nvidia 52.15 drivers / windows icons


Recommended Posts

Hi,

i don't seem to be the only one with this prob, so i'm asking here if someone have an idea...

when you install nvidia drivers 52.16, if you have changed any of your My computer, my documents, recycle bin, or start menu icons, it will revert them back to the original XP ones, if you change them and reboot, it will revert back...

i can"t manage to have my icons customized when using those drivers,

if someone have an idea, or know what to remove in order to have this working plz tell me

Thx

just go by the default icons, and you've got no probs :ninja: :D :p

I'm sorry, I can't help ya, I got the default icons and the latest nvidia drivers, so I cannot tell if my (default) icons are replaced by (other) default icons.

sure lol, but i dont want the default ones...and even after rebuilding icons etc... it reset them back, i go in iconpackager, changes them do a switch user or anything else and bang..they go default!

thats boring...im back at 4xxx drivers...but these new ones works sooo good i want em :D

just email nvidia and see what they can do for you.

if it's not working with some apps like tweakui or other icon-(re)building tools......

or try to search google for this issue you're facing

and the new 52.16 drivers are awesome! I wouldn't trade them in for the 4x.xx drivers!

Damn, that is wild. I had custom icons and they reverted back to default. I never thought of linking it to the Nvidia drivers. :huh:

I have 2 nearly identical computers. My main has the new drivers and now default icons, my 2nd has the omegas and keeps the custom icons. That is odd? :blink:

  • 2 weeks later...

custom icons work on my end fine with the 52.16's...

not sure if somebody already suggested it, but do a clean install of your drivers (meaning use add/remove, run driver cleaner, etc.) and then install the 52.16's fresh... the reason i suggest this is like i said i am not having any problems with my icons at all, and i also just reformatted my drive last week and went right to the 52.16's and i have also seen other people say their icons are also not effected...

to be on the safe side my exact process after i formatted was i installed the 52.16's, (other driver and app installations in between), and then customized my icons. so to be safe you might want to set your icons back to default, remove the current nvidia drivers clean, install the 52.16's, then customize your icons again..

a truly clean install of the drivers and you should be fine... good luck

You know... that makes sense. After installing those drivers it happened to me, but I never thought to check the driver... just assumed it was something else!! I downloaded the 52.70's last night, am gonna install them today and see if it works for me. :D

bah fck!

almost 2 hours spent on that and its still not working! i tried everything you said...they keep reseting! :( tryed with all 5xxx version same stuff, damn i want to use em but icons first! i hope nvidia does something, its starting to be boring, specially cuz those drivers are damn good! :(

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
