Had same issue  and was solved by running regedit  erasing some entries in HKEY LOCAL MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion explorer ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers and restarting  Deleting OneDrive1    enties was not permited  but I had some from Google Drive   You can also make a bakup by double-clicking in the registry directory and doing an  Export  to a file   On Windows 10  most of the entries are used by OneDrive and you won t have permission to remove them  In order to do so  right click on the entry  Example   OneDrive1   then click  Advanced   then click the link labled  Change  at the very top next to  Owner   This lets you change the owner  Type in your username and hit OK  Now give yourself  Full Control  and then apply it  Now you should be able to delete or rename it

TortoiseSVN 1 9 1 will work around the issue by renaming the Overlay Icons  starting with 2 spaces  to make sure they are loaded before the OneDrive icons

I was using Subversion 1 7 x and installing the version 1 9 1 or modifying the registry entries did not solve this issue of icon overlays   In my case  after using SVN upgrade working copy the icon overlays for the upgraded project appeared   In conclusion  old projects using Subversion 1 7 x do not show icons and projects using Subversion 1 9 x do  under Windows 10    Tip  there is a button that takes you to the registry in Settings -  Icon Overlays -  Overlay Handlers -  Start registry editor  At least in version 1 9 1

As others have indicated  the overlay icon registry area is congested  Here is a powershell script that allows you to dump all the overlays in the registry to a file  then after you edit the file to prioritize your overlays the way you want  you can import them back in and protect them against further modifications from other programs running under SYSTEM   https   github com polachz OverlayIconFix

I deleted all my onedrive keys  installed latest preview etc and finally realized that the icons were working all along for some explorer directory views and not others     In other words  medium  large  extra large  and tiles  but not list or detail   Since I don t want to learn all about how that works  I am just viewing my work directories as tiles for now

I fixed my problems with TortoiseSVN icons not showing up in Windows 10  for the special case where my repository was on a removable drive    There is a Tortoise setting that determines which Drive Types the icons are used with  Drives A  and B   Removable drives  Network drives  Fixed drives  CD-ROM  RAM drives  and Unknown drives   It was NOT a problem with the naming of the icon overlays in the Windows Registry    The names were automatically prefixed with  1    2   etc    to force them  in my computer  alphabetically at the top of the list just before the OneDrive icons    So  all of the icons were within the top 15  To get to the Tortoise settings  right click on Desktop or a folder and then choose TortoiseSVN   Settings   In Settings  choose Icon Overlays  There ll you find the Drive Types settings

You can go to   Tortoise Settings  gt  Icon Overlays - gt  Overlay Handlers     and uncheck all checkboxes  apply  then reactivate them and apply   This will do the same thing in the registry but not manually   Otherwise you can open the registry with the button below  and move up the keys  appending some spaces before the name

I had the same problem as OP   Installing version 1 9 2 resolved the issue without any tweak

User · Answer

As in current recommended answer mentioned  you need to sort the entries of the overlay identifiers in the registry  I haven t deleted those OneDrive or GoogleDrive entries but renamed all Tortoise Folders by adding 3 spaces to bring them on top  Just restart and even with Tortoise SVN client 1 7 9 you ll see your SVN overlay icons under Windows 10 again

Windows explorer allots 15 custom overlay icons  Windows reserves 4  so effectively only 11 overlay icons  - they are shared between multiple applications  Google drive  One drive  Tortoise SVN   If you have multiple applications installed - the first ones in list will display their icons  rest of applications won   t   Problem is described deeper in  https   tortoisesvn net faq html ovlnotall   Open registry editor in   HKEY LOCAL MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Explorer ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers  Rename icons which are not important to you to start from    z     prefix  will be last in list  will not be used after that      Windows restart might be needed  as just restart explorer does not work  But in my case icons appeared to be correct after some time   10-20 minutes
