Version:

Additional context This problem only bugs UWP apps(available in apps section of open-shell), the standard apps remain unaffected

I’ve had this happen as well. I believe it only happens when you use classic styles, or if you set the pinned folder to the Start menu folder instead of the “Pinned” folder. You should share if your experience is different, however.

For months I was wondering why only some UWP app icons were missing and I couldn't figure out why until I found this.

I had pinned the windows calculator app to the Open Shell Menu and every time I opened the app the icon wasn't displayed on the taskbar. I hadn't even pinned it to the taskbar, only to the Open Shell Menu. After I removed the pinning and opened the app again, the icon is displayed normally like it was never missing. Pinned it to the Open Shell Menu again, closed the app, re-opened it and the icon is missing. Removed the pinning, closed the app, re-opened it and the icon is displayed.

There is definitely something wrong with the function "Pin to Start Menu (Open Shell)"

@AndyK70 try unpinning all apps and changing the "Pinned Programs folder" in Open-Shell settings to "Use Pinned folder"

Also, probably related to #522 and another issue which causes apps to appear incorrectly in the Programs list. I may consider changing the default option to the standard "Pinned" list for all layouts to avoid this behavior and possibly fix it in some cases.

That seems to be a good idea bonzibudd to change default to Pinned folder.

Not a fix for the bug, it still needs to be fixed but but you can unpin the bugged item with the missing icon with Shift+right click -> Unpin from taskbar (or just right click if you're using 7+ Taskbar Tweaker to reverse jumplist and context menu 🙂)

Even without pinning to the Taskbar, if you start the UWP pinned item from the Open Shell menu, it shows up on the Taskbar with only the text label and no icon. image

Interestingly, if you pin it first to the Open Shell Start menu, launch the UWP app, then use its jumplist to pin to the Taskbar, the icon actually appears. 🙂
