As reported by WindowsLatest, in the recent Windows 10 Insider 'Dev' builds, Microsoft has revamped many of these icons as part of their Sun Valley design refresh, expected to be released in Fall 2021.
Dll icons from both Windows 10 20H2 and the latest Windows 10 Insider 'Dev' build.
As you can see below, the current icons are the old flat icons we have come to love or hate from Windows.
The Windows 10 Sun Valley icons offer a modern and colorful look that is more aesthetically pleasing.
As you can see, not all of the icons have been updated yet but will likely be done or removed altogether when the Windows 10 Sun Valley feature update is released in the fall.
Other design changes expected in the Windows 10 Sun Valley update include rounded corners, new animations, and updated dialogs to the operating system.
