    Every time I update windows my drive icons get reset. Again I have to change manually, I don't use default drive icon.

    And more thing I recently updated windows to show my Bluetooth device battery but its not showing it and another software displaying the Bluetooth battery %.

    Not every device supports that Battery API though some devices do come with LED lights to indicate battery level.

    Its win32 aka legacy when UWP takes over!
    Have you checked off Clean icon cache and thumbnail caches in disk cleaning apps?
    I'd tag Ultra Male (Formerly, phoenix) since he uses custom drive icons.
