Question Windows Server 2025 Standard - Fill in View

[philippoommen1]

Hi,
In Windows Server 2025, the application interface appears different compared to Windows Server 2019. Is there a setting available to restore the icons and overall appearance to match the Windows Server 2019 view?

2019 look


2025 look


Thanks

Does anyone have experience with prowin32.exe.manifest?

If you have worked on this, could you please let me know whether this file can help improve the look and feel of fill-ins and other UI widgets in Windows Server 2025?

Thanks,
Philip

Not really used the prowin32.exe.manifest - or if Progress 64-bit prowin.exe.manifest - but based on the first article Rob posted if it exists and you rename it you seem to revert to an older interface look.

Windows 11 look with prowin.exe.manifest:


Windows 11 look with no prowin.exe.manifest/prowin.exe.manifest renamed:
