Taskbar icon error for Google Chrome


Recommended Posts

I had a problem with Chrome so I re installed it, and the taskbar was duplicating the icons at first (two Chrome icons showed up, one with the active window that looked like the leftmost in the screeenshot and the other one doing nothing that looked like a normal icon should). I unpinned both and started the program from the Start menu and pinned the icon again, thus solving that problem.

 

However, the icon (the leftmost in the screenshot) still looks really weird. It's just Chrome doing it, the other programs are fine. I tried the fix from the "Desktop Icon Error" but it didn't work. It's not a serious problem at all (Chrome works perfectly fine) but it's been bugging me...

Try:

  1. Unpin that icon from the taskbar
  2. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application
  3. Right-click chrome.exe, click pin to start

 

It kinda worked, but when I click the newly fixed icon the window comes up under a second icon that looks like the one I was trying to fix in the first place.
