    Microsoft Edge logo replacing shortcut images

    [ATTACH type=“full”]10653[/ATTACH] I’m not sure why but some of my shortcuts have started appearing with he Microsoft edge logo instead and it doesn’t bother me too much I’m just curious as to why this has happened and if it is affecting the files of these games? Thanks

      Have you set internet explorer as the default for opening those shortcuts?
      What file type are they - exe?

                No, just resets the default for opening urls - usually your default browser.

                    Is Internet Explorer set as the default browser?
                    How old are the sites which the url point to? It may be they require IE rather than Edge.
                    Have you tried creating the shortcut to the site again using Edge?

                            Which app is being used via Steam?
                            If they have the OneDrive logo then they may be on OneDrive & not on the pc, ensure the setting to keep on the pc as well as OD is on.
