My Windows 11 User document icon is just a standard folder icon. But Windows 11 User Documents (My document) folder has a unique folder icon. What is the reason for this? I checked the icons folder and no special icon for the My documents folder. The other icons have no problem (All are the latest and standard Windows 11 icons). What is the reason for this?

Did you try resetting it?

You can reset your icon by
(1) Go to your profile location: e.g. C:\Users\Anthony ( Don't go by the shortcut, Start browse from c:\)
(2) Right click, Documents Folder > Prosperities
(3) click customize
(4) click Reset or select and change any icon you like.
