Vivaldi icon broken in taskbar
-
I use Windows 10, 64-bit. Installed Vivaldi today.
My Vivaldi has a broken icon in the taskbar. I have verified that its icon in appdata resources folder exists. It just doesn't load in taskbar.
Also, why does Vivaldi open a new "task" in taskbar when I already have it in the taskbar as pinned app?

Hello!
Have you tried make the new opened "Window/App" the new-pinned to your Activity bar? This is a known "bug"-if you'd call it that that's been known since forever.
Please reply if your issue isn't solved!

@Gneno That makes the window task pinned to taskbar (thank you!), however I still have the broken icon image. It still shows as a broken "file" icon instead of the Vivaldi "V" logo.

@stardepp this just changed the icon of the shortcut and the pinned Vivaldi app, however, the Vivaldi windows still have broken "file" icon.

@DeliciousBacon Sometimes Windows borks the icons, the solution might be to rebuild the icon cache.

https://www.howtogeek.com/232779/how-to-rebuild-a-broken-icon-cache-in-windows-10/FYI in my experience, it's enough to delete
IconCache.dbin%AppData%\Localand restart Windows Explorer from the Task Manager, even on Win10. -
@DeliciousBacon I know this problem...If you have changed the icon, but the taskbar does not take over this icon yet, then log out from Windows and then log in again and the correct icon will be taken over in the taskbar.

I realize this is a somewhat old thread, but I had this same issue and managed to fix it, so hopefully it will be useful to someone else out there.
The problem in my case came from what appears to be an incomplete uninstall. Somehow, the link points to the incorrect file location, and even though the browser opens and operates correctly, Windows can't find the icon.
To fix it
- Start Vivaldi
- Right click on the taskbar icon
- Right click again on the "Vivaldi" entry (third from the bottom)
- Select properties
- Make sure that the "Target" and "Start In" fields are correct
- Click the "Change Icon" button
- Select the Vivaldi icon
- Click the OK button on that dialog box and then the OK button on the previous dialog box
- You should now have the correct icon
A thanks to stardep whose suggestion of creating a shortcut I was able to build off of to find the solution.
