Devices and Printers - Computer Icon looks 'wrong'

[nicklam]

Hi all, I am having a bit of trouble figuring out why the 'computer icon' in Devices and Printers looks wrong

I have uploaded an image of it and the computer appears as a 'blue box'

any ideas?

I am using a Coolermaster N200 case with an ASUS H81M-E mobo..

It's probably an OEM icon designed by ASUS. I wouldn't worry about it, though it does seem to be an odd choice for an icon.

Manufacturers often design their own icons for the Device panel. In mine, my two printers look exactly like they do in real life, not the standard Windows printer icon. It's pretty common.

is there anyway i can change this icon? .. or even back to the 'generic computer icon' ..

I had the same issue on my sabertooth, I will try to dig up the fix, you just have to delete a file and it will change to this.

But for windows 10 on this pc I`ve yet figured out how to change it.

Hmm. There must be a way, but right clicking on mine produces a long list of menu items, and the "Properties" option gives no option to change the icon.

There's no way I know of to do it, but perhaps a more knowledgeable member will happen by with a solution.
