Is it because someone got tired of that whole icon drama? #35783

What's sad is that I actually prefer this to the orange icon...

I am having this problem too; at first I thought it was some icon cached by Windows for a generic Electron binary, so I cleared all the caches and that didn't help. Then I thought to open up freshly downloaded zip files instead of using the MSI installer packages. The Portable ZIP install for VS Code is fine as you can see (it even includes the proper branding information content)...

But the one for VS Code Insiders is obviously quite different...

That means they are baked in that way from the beginning; I take it that means that the icon files and the branding information were not entered correctly in the workflow to package the Electron app for the latest build of VS Code Insiders.

The Process name in Task Manager is also Electron

@joaomoreno did something change in gulp-atom-electron?

[RDeluxe]

Same here.

@joaomoreno is taking care of it and starting new builds.

Latest insiders still shows Electron icon.

The icon is now Ok, but in the task bar its still the electron.

It appears to have (mostly) fixed it for me, see below;

Taskbar:

Titlebar:

File Explorer Details:

Task Manager Processes:

(Now that is a little bit unusual, I will admit)

I will experiment with flushing the icon cache and rebooting, although most of the places the icon shows up should be correct now.....Don't know exactly what is going on with the Task Manager example, though.

EDIT: _Resolved._ Uninstalled, rebooted, then reinstalled; that fixed the remaining Electron icons hanging around...

Everything seems to be OK now; if anybody is having further problems, the above sequence should fix them.

PS: Still moderately curious how the parent process could hold onto a cached icon resource file while the child process picked up the new one in the previous task manager shot; I would have thought that the latest update would have blown everything away at the same time, unless there was a hosting process that never got touched.

This is now fixed for me (after a couple of updates) on Windows 10 64-bit 1703 (15063.674).

Fixed for me today!

[changavila]

Its now fixed.
