Do you know which mod causes it? I'd assume the disable grouping mod is most likely to be related. Do you have a way to reproduce the problem? Does it happen often, or did it happen only once? Does it happen if you disable all most but Disable grouping on the taskbar?
Yes, it is indeed the disable grouping mod. It should occur if I open multiple windows(cygwin terminal shortcut) of same icon. Then switch to next virtual desktop, then back. It seems that the mod is then using the icon from the underlying exe file of the shortcut(mintty.exe) instead the icon shortcut:
However, I was not able to reproduce my problem where an random icon from another running application is used. It occurs when "too many" windows are open (Having many windows open on 2x43"@4K screens) and only the Terminal.exe is affected using icon from another complete different running application. For example. I recently opened the Windhawk application, and now Terminal application has now the Winhawk icon:

If that's the first window of the group (e.g. the first mintty window), and if the settings "Keep pinned items separated" and "Use window icons" are disabled (that's the default), the icon should be the same as it would be without the mod. Are you sure that there's a difference?
The icon is by default the app icon, not the window icon, which might be what you're seeing. That's the default taskbar behavior. You might want to try the "Use window icons" option of the mod.
For example. I recently opened the Windhawk application, and now Terminal application has now the Winhawk icon
That's clearly a bug, but I never encountered it, even though I'm using the mod on a daily basis. Can you try to come up with reproduction steps that I can use to trigger the bug?
My assumption about the a mod using the application icon is wrong. It just takes any random icon. I am able to reproduce it on my host system where it picks up any icon, but in a VM with the exact same Windows version, it seems to be not so "random" (only application window).
The only difference is that the host system is daily docked and undocked at different places.
One thing I noticed: This bug is related only mintty(Cygwin() and Terminal.exe, Other apps do not have this bug: Firefox, Excel, Kate, Thunderbird, TotalCMD, TortoiseHG, IntelliJ , Clock, Greenshot, Word
What are your mod settings? Is the "Use window icons" option enabled? Other options?
""Use window icons"" is disabled. Other options in the mod are disabled (default).
And if you turn on "Use window icons" (and then restart explorer/the computer), can you still reproduce the bug?
I enabled "Windows Icons":
In the VM with same Windows version and Windawk: Unable to reproduce my bug, all icon window icons shown correct. Tried several times switching between the virtual desktops.
On my host system with multiple displays: Problem still exists, Terminal App this time taking icon from Firefox. Problem still only on mintty and Terminal windows.
OK, thanks, I'll keep an eye on the mintty/Terminal issue. Still, if you find more specific reproductions steps, let me know.
Same problem with System Informer. Reproducibility: always.
@Dook1 I can't reproduce it, both with and without the "Use window icons" option.
Now I can't reproduce it either. This is probably my experiments with Taskbar Styler. Sorry.

Can you try with cmd or terminal app also open and showing the title? Thanks
I tried now with cmd and with terminal. No problem at all.

For some applications (terminal and cygwin) a wrong icon is shown. It takes an icon from another random open application. For example a console application (Syncthing) has an icon from Greenshot, Or another command prompt using icon from Device Manager.
