Thanks for your feedback but a little over my pay grade of skill. Even if I create a new icon for a website it still shows up with the edge icon....very wierd. Last time this happened I had to recreate all my shortcuts to get the correct websites logo, ie Google. This time it just assigns the Edge logo. This is nuts!

Thanks John. And again Microsoft has performed another upgrade affecting my personal screen setup. Nice also that it changed the font sizes of all my desktop web sites along with deleting all of my favorites on some of those same sites. Nice job Microsoft.

This is my final comment on this subject. I could do a system restore to fix the Icon issue, however, with this download there has been some changes in Edge that I already like. For example. I always had an issue connecting to this particular website ( no issue on my Macbook ) and now no problem. The printer menu is much better....now I can select any size of font that I wish rather than a fixed number. Also when signing into some websites I had to always type in my E mail address....now the address is populated. So in closing I guess I'll take the bad with the good.
