Win11 Task Bar Icon Problem
Today my laptop started showing the wrong icon.
Is it due to Open Shell?
How about a reboot?
Rebooting made a difference. Firefox and Screenhunter icons came back. Thunderbird is still wrong.
And lets reinstall Openshell. From Ninite.com V4.4.195 And reboot. And the icons are gone again. Bugga.
And uninstall Openshell again. Reboot and the icons are back.
Turns out I have WIN 11 Home version 23H2 64 Bit
Installed 6-1-2022
OS Build 22631.4602
Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1055.0
So I wonder if Ninite have the most recent version of Openshell.
https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu shows the latest rev at 4.4.195
So Ninite is up to date.
Did another couple of reboots and the icons vanish again.
Feels like some kind of restart race condition
And rebooted and they are back
Possibly I need to rebuild the icon cache

Now try SFC /scannow
Windows-X
Terminal (Admin)
Then type sfc /scannow and it checks windows files
