Didn't help :(

Thanks. The thing is: it used to work on my machine, until one of the latest updates to VSCode. In fact, I have multiple other machines where VSCode is in Start11 and there're no issues with the icon. On this machine, I've tried to select different icon styling options in the advanced settings at no avail.

Yeah, probably not.

Unpin/repin doesn't fix it. Pinning to Windows menu shows normal icon.

Rebooting doesn't help the white square problem.

The right click menu on Excel got fixed after I re-associated files with Excel. Checking out Windows Explorer indeed helped. The white square is still a problem, but I haven't rebooted machine yet to check the suggestion.

The white square is VSCode icon; the popup menu is a right click menu for Excel. I would prefer to

Somehow Start11 (latest version) gets into the state when VS Code icon is a gigantic white square, and recent files on Excel right click menu are generic gear icons. How to reset icon cache and prevent this from happening?

Thanks, this worked. I should've tried that myself. :)

Is it possible to set up an icon in Start11 to always launch as administrator? I have this piece of software which works only as admin, that'd be a welcome ergonomics improvement if I could launch it as admin all the time.
