Icon changes when pinned to taskbar

A perfectly good shortcut icon will becoma a generic icon when pinned to the taskbar (see pic). Is there any cure for that?

It doesn't change it on my set up.see here:

Perhaps running sfc /scannow might help!

Hello Wolfgang,

If you had moved or deleted the shortcut from the desktop after you had pinned it to the taskbar, then it's icon would turn like that since the link between them is broken.

As a test, see if right clicking directly on that program's exe file and clicking on "Pin to taskbar" may keep it's icon instead.

Is it all shortcuts or just that one?

Just that one.

Shawn, I did not delete the shortcut from the desktop. But the funny thing is, the program.exe has the same generic icon. Only the desktop shortcut comes out right - is also correct in Properties > Change Icon.

What program is that?

I'll do some playing with it to see if it does the same for me as well.

Thanks Shawn, it is this program WM Capture - Super High Quality Video Recorder But please don't waste too much time on it. It is only a little annoyance and not a big problem.

Tis OK on mine:
