    folder icons I Customize keep reverting back to default

    It's "double-hidden " (system attribute set as well). Check your folder view options:

    Windows 11 Folder custom Icon Issue

    Not only that but when I customize folders and sub folders to pictures it may or may not comply. Windows 10 had the same problem with windows ten reverting back to General Items often. If I wanted a list of 50 to 5000 items I would not mind but I don't want a list I want icons. You should have stuck with windows 7 and let us control our own computers.
