Annoying double arrows every where. Just updated to the latest build and this is what comes out of that. The blue texts were just fine, seems like it's going to take a few days to get used to this new Blue Compression arrows. :)
Actually, in the end, I uncompressed all my drives. Pros: Access is a little quicker. Double arrow compression icons go away. Cons: More drive space needed.

Funnily enough when I tested on my system access was a little slower after decompressing Any useful scenario for NTFS compression? - Page 2 - Windows 10 Forums (not that it made a huge difference either way though)
If still unresolved, the below person "Ztruker" suggestion resolved my issue.

Shortcut Arrow ( download links still working )
running fine under win 10 pro 10586.36 :)
Hi guys,
I found a way to remove those arrows, and it's actually the exact same way as the shortcut arrows that mykou was talking about are removed - literally just a different number used in the process.

The fix is a blank icon file that needs to be copied somewhere (usually Windows/System32 for convenience) and a registry change to tell Windows to use the blank icon instead of the blue arrows. I provide a batch file which will copy the file and make the registry change for you if you right click and "Run as Administrator".
Thanks guys, enjoy your blue arrow free life! :)
