I don't know why, but whole drive volumes are losing folder color and emblem data. It started with my OS drive, then recently spread to my main storage device (3TB). The folders are reset to the default green color with no emblems, after which they are permanently stuck! Reboot does nothing, and an internet search comes up empty.
I'm not a major tinkerer! So having not meddled with critical settings or changed the code, why is this suddenly happening with no explanation? The only lead I have is that it could be graphics related. I had screen tearing on first login, and had to fiddle with drivers to get things sorted.
This is a pretty annoying handicap to me, because I use these colors and emblems for organization.
I've asked this question 2 other times, and still haven't been able to resolve it:

Any help is appreciated.
