SharePoint 2016 Document Library Some Folder Icons Turned to OneNote Icon

Migrating from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2016. Large site collection and single library. Most of the folder icons have turned into OneNote icons. Not all, but most of them.

  • Creating a new folder shows as a folder.
  • Re-migrating the folder but skipping the contents also resets the icon to a folder. However, this library has 100,000s of folders. Manual intervention on a migration is not feasible.
  • Content type is folder.
  • Different browsers and users reporting the same issue.
  • Accessing the library via Windows Explorer shows folder icons.

This is a new farm, so the users are not even using it yet so I do not think this has anything to do with users saving OneNote files.239679-foldericonissue3.png
