The unity icon on the taskbar is blank and looks like a txt file logo without the black lines.

Please help me, I’ve had this issue for days and I know it doesn’t change anything but it looks irritating.

If anyone else comes across this in the future, I was able to fix this exact issue by deleting iconcache.db located in %appdata%/Local and restarting the Windows Explorer

In case anyone is still looking for a solution, that way helped me (Windows 10, Unity 2022.3.28f1):

try to remove it from taskbar and repin it…or maybe just reinstall unity hub

I was having a similar problem with Unity Hub and Unity Editor Instance icons missing in the taskbar on windows 11 (icons looked like blank white paper sheets).

Ar3DDev’s solution above worked for me in Unity v6000.28.1f and Unity Hub v3.12.1. It’s important to fully close windows explorer before deleting the icon cache.
