Visual Studio 2017 file icon after saving file changes
Does anyone know why every time I save changes to a file in Visual Studio 2017 it changes the icon of my file (see screenshot below)?
I'm not sure if this is the result of an extension that I installed or deployed as part of an update for Visual Studio.
I'd really like to turn this off, any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE 1
This does not seem to be related to the Git integration, as the icons are still changing with version control disabled (see screenshot below).

If you've verified that VS is not throwing an error, warning, or information error in its error list for a modified file, it is most likely due to the Git integration that version of Visual Studio came with. It works like a file version controller software, showing visual icons like this to show if files have been downloaded and if they were new or not and changed or not.
To turn off source control, open Tools, Options, Source Control and select None. If nothing changes instantly, I recommend restarting VS and checking again.
