Star Wars Special Edition Note
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

So my recycle bin was a kickass death star, but then windows decided to download an automatic update and now its gone back to standard boring recycle bin. How do i get it back? I've gone into settings - personalisation - themes - desktop icon settings, but cant find the icon anywhere.

Hi there @TomMJ19,

Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel. I understand you are having an issue with the recycle bin icon . I will be glad to help you.

 

This is part of the Microsoft Windows software, and the update put back to default.

Here is a link to To change how the Recycle Bin looks.

Thank you, Drdragan895, that solved the issue for me. Go to the Star Wars Command Center and click the little Star Wars logo next to the word ICON at the bottom. You can also click the Windows Icon and it will switch betwen Star Wars reycycle bin and the standard Windows recycle bin.

The Hp Star Wars Special edition 15.6" laptop- Intel Core i7
 Also came with the Star wars command center .. Click on the star wars command center icon on your desktop screen, after it opens on the bottom left you should see the word Icons.. And to the right of the word icon you should see the windows icon & the death star icon.  Click the death star icon & it should change your recycle bin Back into the death star icon 😉  Hope I was able to help , Take Care ="^T^"=

Thank you,  reyskywalker, for posting clear directions for a solution!  It's a little thing, but I was uber POd about this issue.  Something like this always seems to happen with updates - makes me leary of doing them  😞
