Some app icons are missing (default EXE icon)
When you click on taskbar to open app, the animation is not smooth, it's lagging I would say. Moreover, some apps are missing icons.
Windows 1903 here.
Are all of your apps showing a default EXE icon? Do you have a screenshot?
We've had one report of this and a reboot fixed it, could you please give that a try?
I have this issue till updating to 1903. Some exe icons are missing, eg. Discord or Spotify. It happens randomly to random apps

I have tried this, and reboot worked couple of days ago, but since then all icons have been missing and reboot has not helped. Win 10 1903 update
edit: I forgot to mention that missing icons started to happen after I upgraded to 1903, which was couple weeks ago. For me bars seem be decently smooth, could be a bit better.
To loop back to @davuxcom's questions:
- Are all of your apps showing a default EXE icon?
- Do you have a screenshot?
Thanks, we're monitoring this one.
They are showing default system icon?

This issue will track the default EXE icons for apps
In case it is of interest to someone, after 4th reinstall in span of 20 days I got icons to work this time. App was updated to latest version all the time.
Can confirm that this is still an issue. Screenshot
Win10 1903 EarTrumpet 2.1.4.0 from windows store.
Some of the icons that are missing: Battle.net launcher Spotify Discord
If I dump some info it looks like "IconPath" etc are correct.
I would like to add that I have been experiencing this issue too. Reboots do not seem to change anything. OS: Windows 10 Home Version: 1909 Build: 183631198

Have there been any solutions to this bug or should I try uninstalling/reinstalling?
This happens on my system if Microangelo OnDisplay is installed: http://microangelo.us/free-download/change-vista-icons.asp It installs an icon handler shell extension (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/how-to-create-icon-handlers) which causes icons in EarTrumpet to break. Can you guys find a workaround to show icons with it installed?
Update: It seems that Microangelo icon handler shell extension replaces the shell interface (IExtractIcon) that gets the icon from a file, but it only does it for the ANSI version IExtractIconA and not the Unicode version IExtractIconW. So the code needs to be updated to look for the ANSI interface if the Unicode is not found, and the icons will no longer be broken in EarTrumpet.
