TortoiseSVN icons overlay not showing after updating to Windows 10

Question

I had been using Windows 8 and TortoiseSVN icons have been displaying properly, but after installing Windows 10 I can no longer see the icons for the files/folder status.

Answer 1

Check your monitor scaling.

My problem turned out to be this:

It turned out to be different DPI-scaling on the primary and secondary monitor. When the secondary monitor was set to 125% (same as the primary monitor) the icons appeared again.

Answer 2

Tortoise Settings > Icon Overlays -> Overlay Handlers -> Start registry editor

1. Rename icon name :By adding a space(s) at the beginning of the file's name and then press F5 until it goes to top . example: " Tortoise1Normal" (in default 2 spaces included)⇒ " Tortoise1Normal" (3 spaces)

2. Restart explorer in Task manager

Registry

Answer 3

I deleted all my onedrive keys, installed latest preview etc and finally realized that the icons were working all along for some explorer directory views and not others.

In other words, medium, large, extra large, and tiles, but not list or detail. Since I don't want to learn all about how that works, I am just viewing my work directories as tiles for now.

Answer 4

If you are using other version control software, it may be in conflict. In my case, uninstalling Plastic SCM restored Tortoise SVN icons.

Answer 5

Had same issue, and was solved by running regedit, erasing some entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers and restarting. Deleting OneDrive1... enties was not permited, but I had some from Google Drive. You can also make a bakup by double-clicking in the registry directory and doing an "Export" to a file.

On Windows 10, most of the entries are used by OneDrive and you won't have permission to remove them. In order to do so, right click on the entry (Example: "OneDrive1", then click "Advanced", then click the link labled "Change" at the very top next to "Owner". This lets you change the owner. Type in your username and hit OK. Now give yourself "Full Control" and then apply it. Now you should be able to delete or rename it.
