Subject: OneDrive cloud icon not shown in Windows 11 (same MC version works in Win10)
Multi Commander Version: 15.5.0.3102
OS Affected: Windows 11 (working fine on Windows 10)
Description:
I'm using Multi Commander 15.5.0.3102 on both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
In Windows 10, the OneDrive folder appears with the correct cloud icon (showing sync status).
However, in Windows 11, the same version of MC shows OneDrive only as a normal folder.
Technical details:
The OneDrive folder has the same path and ReparsePoint attribute in both systems
ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers registry entries are identical and prioritized
The cloud icon is correctly displayed in Windows File Explorer
This seems to be a limitation in how MC reads shell overlay or sync status in Windows 11.
Would it be possible to update MC to support OneDrive's cloud icon in Windows 11, or to integrate with the newer Windows 11 shell/cloud APIs?
Thank you for your continued work!

MC do not read overlay icons it self. It ask Windows about the overlay icon. So it should return the same as explorer. Just makesure you reboot window after modifying the registry for the overlay icons.
However it can also be 32bit / 64bit issue.. make sure you modify both locations
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\
