[SOLVED] My hidden icons tray has the old design.

[MatiStf]

I recently upgraded to Windows 11 and realized that the hidden icons' tray has the older Windows 10 design, and I don't know how to fix it or if it's a problem that everyone has.

Edit: I forgot to place a photo of the normal hidden icons tray

these application icons are provided by the software authors, not the OS.
what do you expect them to change to in Windows 11?

your Defender, Settings, & Cloud icons are as they should be as far as i can tell.

Just curious: why is the use of an older Windows 10 design (if so) considered as being a "problem"?

Consistency would make sense.....

Is there some reference or MS source showing that the Windows 11 hidden icons tray is/should be different?

Just an open question for discussion....

the issue is that it should be round, because when i close and reopen explorer.exe it changes to the rounded look for some reason

This is why I wait a year until all the small bugs are worked out. Its probably just a bug that will need patched in a later update. I would just wait for it. It doesnt effect anything besides I guess, preference.. It just doesnt matter lol. Maybe try a fresh windows install if it bothers you a lot.
