1. TortoiseGit status icons are not displaying, as shown in Figure 1.
2. In the Start menu search box, enter the “regedit” command, as shown in Figure 2.
3. In the Registry Editor that opens, locate the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers, as shown in Figure 3.
4. After locating it, you will find many entries under this key. Since Windows Explorer Shell supports a maximum of 15 overlay icons and icons are loaded in ASCII code order, you need to reorder the icons prefixed with Tortoise to be within the top 15. Resolve this by renaming them (adding a prefix 0). While doing so, also remove the spaces before other icons. Select “View” > “Refresh”. After the adjustment, their positions are 1 to 10, as shown in Figure 4.
5. After restarting, the TortoiseGit status icons display normally, as shown in Figure 5.
