Why are there green check marks and blue arrows on my pictures and how do I get rid of them? ;(

Hi RST20886432

Do you have Norton 360 loaded on your PC?

If so:

Open Norton 360

Go to Settings - Detailed Settings

From there, turn off 'Backup Status Overlays'

do you have Norton 360 installed?

they look like the backup status indicators added by Norton 360

open Norton 360, select settings from the main window, under the quick controls untick backup status indicators.

I am hungry now, having looked at your screenshot.

Hi,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you, Thank you so much for your valuable question please, These are called backup indicators, Green check mark means that your your files are backed up and blue arrow means that this file is changed since it is last time backed up. You can go to the backup setting to disable them.

If my understanding is right, I would suggest you to please see the below mentioned thread once please (if not tried before) and see it if it helps. I am hopeful that your query will be resolved, If the issue persists or if my understanding is different from your concern, kindly do let me know,waiting for your kind reply please.
