TortoiseGit: Overlay icons work for folders, not for files

I am using TortoiseGit and the overlay icons show up for the folders and not the files. I came across this page http://blog.garethjmsaunders.co.uk/2015/03/22/managing-overlay-icons-for-dropbox-and-tortoisesvn-and-tortoisegit/ which I tried, but that still doesn't solve the problem.

Right now in my registry/ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers, Tortoise icons take precedence over any other application.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I came here using Windows 11 and I had the same issue. No file icon overlays but the icon overlays for the folders were present. MrTux's first link showed the Icon Overlays screen in Git->Settings and I noticed that my status cache had been set to None. Setting back to Default got things working again for me.

The reason might be that you excluded the folder/drive type on TortoiseGit settings -> Icon overlays (https://tortoisegit.org/docs/tortoisegit/tgit-dug-settings.html#tgit-dug-settings-overlay; you might need to check "Network drive", "Drives A: and B:" and/or "Removable Drive" depending on the drive type). When "Show excluded as normal" is checked, all folders will have a "normal" overlay icon and files don't have any overlay icon.
