My suspicion is that the source of the problem was (is) in Chrome, and Edge just picks it up as part of their refactoring.

That all said, I'm attaching my settings as requested. With that and the Inspector data, maybe you can see what was going on before the browsers got updated. Maybe there's something you can do to insulate DF from whatever this is (was).

As always, I appreciate your quick responses to customer feedback! ]]> RE: Secondary taskbar icons for Microsoft Edge apps are generic, not app-specific https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/secondary-taskbar-icons-for-microsoft-edge-apps-are-generic-not-app-specific/?ID=018ed956-cce9-76a8-afc6-426816d6cd70#25 Wed, 28 Jan 2026 14:59:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/secondary-taskbar-icons-for-microsoft-edge-apps-are-generic-not-app-specific/?ID=018ed956-cce9-76a8-afc6-426816d6cd70#25 DisplayFusion Could you send me over a backup of your settings?

Unless I specifically pin the app to the secondary taskbar, and not to the primary taskbar, it stays generic (whether I first move the app to the second monitor or not). ]]> RE: Secondary taskbar icons for Microsoft Edge apps are generic, not app-specific https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/secondary-taskbar-icons-for-microsoft-edge-apps-are-generic-not-app-specific/?ID=018ed956-cce9-76a8-afc6-426816d6cd70#19 Fri, 23 Jan 2026 16:34:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/secondary-taskbar-icons-for-microsoft-edge-apps-are-generic-not-app-specific/?ID=018ed956-cce9-76a8-afc6-426816d6cd70#19 DisplayFusion We tested it here across a few machines and it still seems to work fine. These are the steps we're testing with, are you doing the same?

1. Open edge to a website (we are testing with nhl.com)
2. Click the 3 dots in the upper right corner
3. Head to More Tools > Apps > Install
4.

But if I then unpin it, it's back to the generic Edge icon.

I don't want to keep these apps pinned to the other desktop because sometimes I want them on desktop #1. ]]> RE: Secondary taskbar icons for Microsoft Edge apps are generic, not app-specific https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/secondary-taskbar-icons-for-microsoft-edge-apps-are-generic-not-app-specific/?ID=018ed956-cce9-76a8-afc6-426816d6cd70#12 Thu, 02 Oct 2025 17:36:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/secondary-taskbar-icons-for-microsoft-edge-apps-are-generic-not-app-specific/?ID=018ed956-cce9-76a8-afc6-426816d6cd70#12 DisplayFusion If you pin it on desktop 2 and then close and re-open the window, does it have the correct icon? ]]> RE: Secondary taskbar icons for Microsoft Edge apps are generic, not app-specific https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/secondary-taskbar-icons-for-microsoft-edge-apps-are-generic-not-app-specific/?ID=018ed956-cce9-76a8-afc6-426816d6cd70#11 Wed, 01 Oct 2025 14:56:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/secondary-taskbar-icons-for-microsoft-edge-apps-are-generic-not-app-specific/?ID=018ed956-cce9-76a8-afc6-426816d6cd70#11 DisplayFusion It's pinned on desktop #1 but opens on desktop #2.
