Windows App Icons! (2001 - present)

In this video you will see how some of the most iconic Windows icons have evolved over the years starting with Windows XP in 2001. I intend to do another video focusing on more classic Windows icons in the future.

Disclaimer: Not all icons are included, but I've done my best in terms of having a fair evolution for each time period.

I like the old Windows 7 and windows 10 looks because I’m just so used to them

Internet Explorer had another icon between 2009 and 2015, it was actually for IE9 which came out in 2011.

Windows xp: details
Windows vista/7: more details
Windows 10: no details
Windows 11:a bit more details
I hope Windows 12 will have new icons

[rafaelbluestacks]

i love how windows 11 still uses old windows 7 icons in many places

[mixk]

Generic folder in 11 going back to being close to XP is glorious

[CreatorKZ]

2007-2009 is really skeuomorphism era. Everything is highly detailed.

[TheSpooncer]

2001 really loved diagonals. Adds so much life into it

Alternate title: Windows Icons getting oversimplified

[thebluedoom]

2007 intenet explorer icon was the best

[LordBlackTiger]

The photo file of 2009 is prettier than that of 2015, it was not necessary to simplify it

[Lambdambient]

Weren't some 7 icons perhaps used in Vista as well? I mean, icons such as Generic folder labeled with 2009 also existed in 2007. There were also Vista-exclusive icons for Control Panel and media (such as Pictures and Videos) and one for IE (2009-2015).

[brobroant]

Some of the Vista icons are missing such as Documents, and videos

[emikosh]

2001=Windows XP
2007=Windows Vista
2015=Windows 10
2021+=Windows 11+

[itz_dcentral]

I'm amazed by the fact that most of windows 10 icons (and even windows 11) are influenced by windows 7 icons

[Bezi]

2:56 the 2009 one gives me so much memories

[josephlong]

0:07 Default browser in 2019+ will called "Microsoft Edge".
And btw, i like the 2021+ ones😎

Looks like you're missing Windows 8's IE 10 icon, the Control Panel icon (Windows Vista) is also missing
