    Thumbdrive icon changed suddenly by SanDisk ULTRA?


    I just noticed a strange behavior: when I insert a SanDisk ULTRA 128GB thumbdrive into a USB port of a Windows 10 machine, it causes all icons for all removable USB drives in File Explorer to change to this icon forever (!)

    For example, here's a yet-unspoiled Windows 10 machine with ADATA thumbdrive in it. It is a Windows Setup thumbdrive. Originally in File Explorer it looks as follows

    As you can see, it displays the expected custom icon specified by `autorun.inf`. Now, I insert my SanDisk ULTRA into a USB port next to it. And suddenly icons for both drives change to this

    The machine no longer wants to display the "default" drive icon. And it no longer honors the custom icon specified through `autorun.inf`. For all thumbdrives it simply displays that "white server" (or whatever that is) icon.

    Moreover, this behavior is permanent (!): removing that SanDisk ULTRA from that machine does not help. Rebooting that machine does not help. That machine is now screwed up for good. It keeps using this "white server" icon for all thumbdrives from that moment on.

    What could be possibly going on here? Is there a new driver specifically for SanDisk ULTRA drives that gets "activated" by a SanDisk ULTRA drive and screws up everything? How do I revert to normal behavior?

    It's a Windows bug. See Drivers and Hardware section.
