Console windows launched from start menu don't have app's icon #1

Case in point:

This is a bug with conhost.exe. I'm looking into it.

@miniksa submitted a change to conhost that should fix this, in an insider's build soon.

Yep, sorry. I didn't realize this Issue was logged here as well as in our internal DB. It had to do with the search paths that the console uses to find the icon. WSL activates the launcher in an interesting way, so I had to add an additional search path in the console host window to try to find the appropriate icon.

It'll probably be in Insiders in a few weeks.
