Microsoft is trying to bring the Windows 10 icons saga to an end with a complete new set of icons that are part of build 10125 and that could be included in the final version of the operating system too.

Leaked screenshots of Windows 10 build 10125 that have reached the web earlier today reveal some minor changes that Microsoft made in this particular version, and one of them is the introduction of new icons for Control Panel, Network, and This PC.

The Recycle Bin continues to be the same as in the previous builds, so Microsoft might actually keep this design for Windows 10 RTM as well, even though there's still plenty of time to replace this one too until the operating system is signed off in June.

The story of Windows 10 icons

It's no secret that the new Windows 10 icons included in the first technical preview builds have often been criticized by insiders and users across the world, with many calling them ugly, childish, or simply a bad joke for an operating system that's supposed to revamp everything from UI to features.

Microsoft confirmed that the original icon set in Windows 10 was just a placeholder and promised to introduce new icons in future builds, but the only one that actually got replaced was Recycle Bin in build 10056.

With build 10125, which is reportedly being tested by partners, Microsoft is finally addressing icon criticism once and for all, but it remains to be seen if users like this new design as well.

Microsoft hasn't yet confirmed whether build 10125 will be released to insiders as well, but the new icons are also expected to be part of the next official preview version coming out in the near future.

What do you think of the new icons included in build 10125? Should they be used in Windows 10 RTM too?
