Microsoft is now focus on finishing Windows 10 and getting it ready for the summer release, more than it’s paying attention on adding new features. However, the company continues adding a few new touches here and there, in Windows 10 build 10125, we can now see that Microsoft is updating the icons that has been a big part of discussion throughout the development.
The new updated icons make a step back to the ones the company introduced in the previous builds of the operating system. Now the new icons have a more familiar look to what users were used to see in Windows 8 and Windows 7, but they have a more Windows 10 feeling.
While the Recycle Bin remains with the same look, virtually all the other icons have been updated. As now, there is a new icon for File Explorer, This PC, Network, Folders, Devices and Drives, Quick Access, and more.
Here is a screenshot with the icons style up to Windows 10 build 10122:
