I haven't updated my Arch (Plasma) for some time.

When I updated it yesterday, suddenly all the exe icons started to show up ( I'm dualbooting with Win ), which is not the case before.

As far I looked up, I can't find anything on internet.

I don't know if it's whether WINE or Dolphin or some other package.

So, what's changed ?

@gpstarman Are these the exact same icons and files that you have on your Windows side?

Yeah

Except for some .dlls, I'm seeing icons on linux and not on windows.

@gpstarman I'm thinking that maybe your /home directory somehow symlinked with your user folder on Windows.

Try creating a different user on Arch and see if it still happens. Probably also try creating another user on the Windows side (before or after).
