RV Icon Taking over PCs

RV
13

After investigation, the source of this issue was that in the Windows RV msi installation (exe), we associate the .ico (Windows Icons) files with RV.

However Adobe and some other softwares are installed with icons that cannot be read by RV thus the RV showing up everywhere. We are really sorry about that.

This issue will be fixed in the upcoming RV 7.7.1 but I will also list here the steps required to de-associate the .ico files from RV in Windows 10:

  1. In the Windows search, look for ‘Default app for each type of file’
  2. Look at the app associated with the .ico files
  3. If it is ‘RV’ then replace it with ‘Paint’
  4. Reboot

We hope this helps
