About this tag
The tag 'blue arrows' on WindowsForum.com refers to an overlay icon issue in Windows File Explorer where two blue arrows appear on folders and files. Users report that this is not related to the standard compression attribute setting, as unchecking compression does not resolve it. The problem has been observed during file transfers and after system updates, and it persists despite rebuilding the icon cache or rebooting. Some users have had to perform a system recovery to fix it. Discussions explore whether the cause is a Windows update bug or a potential virus, though security scans may not detect anything. The tag covers troubleshooting steps and user experiences with this specific icon anomaly.
