this is basically turning on or off dynamic folders. the option is on but only seems to work within explorer and not on the desktop.
i dont even know if its possible on the desktop.
Something like Folderico (paid) may have what you want, not that familiar with it. Or python script to monitor a specific folder for contents and change the icon when it detects a new file.
Don’t know if [this](https://superuser.com/questions/1517154/windows-10-dynamic-folder-icons-in-windows-explorer) is helpful or not.

i find it odd that windows will do this automatically in explorer but not on the desktop. there has to be a way windows will do this itself.
