[Solved] Edge icon not showing

Hello,

When I open MS Edge the icon that shows is not edge's.

Image

Edge is NOT pinned to taskbar, I tried pinning edge's shortcut from the start menu folder but it opens on a separate icon. It happened since I performed a system restore.

(on an unrelated note, it's me, A curious kid, but recently I've been migrating accounts from Google to Microsoft, and made a new Outlook account)

Try refreshing the icon cache.

To automate the process, download the following file, unzip the batch file and run it:

Hi A_Curious_Kid -

I'm Jerico T., one of the Independent Advisor and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. I understand that you're having some issues right now, let us sort things out.

Let's try the troubleshooting methods below and check if any of the resolves fixes the issue.

Method 1: Check for Microsoft Edge Update

1. Open Microsoft Edge and click the three (3) dots on the upper right corner
2. Select Help and feedback on the lower part
3. Select About Microsoft Edge
4. It will automatically check for available updates, install available updates then restart your computer and check if it resolves your concern

Method 2: Perform Clean Boot
- This process will eliminate 3rd party application running in the background of your computer along with services that are not needed to run windows. If there's any conflicting 3rd party application that causes the issue on your computer, this process will stop it.

1. Open the run box by pressing the Windows Key + R and type msconfig
2. System Configuration Utility box will open and by default you are on general tab.
3. On the General tab, click the selective startup and make sure that load system service and load startup items both have checked mark.
4. Click on services tab
5. Put a check mark on Hide All Microsoft Services > This is a very important part as if you miss to click on this, computer might not boot properly or permanently and will end up on clean installation.
6. Once Hide all Microsoft Services have checked mark on it, click on Disable All
7. Click on the Startup Tab and click open task manager. This will open another window which contains all your startup applications on the administrator account.
8. Disable all application that you're not using. You can simply just click on them and select disable.
9. Click OK , Apply and close the configuration utility.

Hope this help. Have a good day.

Thank you.
Jerico T.
