Nextcloud Files - Windows 11

Hi Everyone.

I like to give specific folders custom icons in Windows Explorer. Like a Documents Icon for a Documents Folder and a Database Icon for a Database folder etc.

In the past when doing this, inside the “Synced” folder c:\users\user\Nextcloud, this was not an issue. But for about a year now, when I add a custom icon to a folder (which is then saved in the hidden desktop.ini file), the folder icon changes, but after a little while, the folder icon reverts back to the normal windows folder icon. I have set desktop.ini to be excluded from Sync in the Nextcloud Files app that is installed, but to no avail.

Anyone else knows what the reason could be for this behaviour and how to fix it?
