Current workaround is to delete the 'chrome.VisualElementsManifest.xml' file at chrome root and then refresh the icon (by selecting the same icon again from the properties of the icon file). Also then on - new icons get pinned as expected with proper icon.

 Issue 732356  has been merged into this issue.

Thanks for the report.

It looks like this is a new problem introduced in Windows 10 which we may not have control over (since it's an interaction with the Windows desktop icon and the Windows "add to start menu" flow). But we will have a look.

Interesting.. one fix might be need to have these shortcuts point to a new exe that doesn't have a VisualElementsManfiest.xml. The exe would forward parameters to chrome.exe and exit. 

I can confirm that the workaround in #1 seems to work. Is there any negative effect to removing the xml file? What things does having that file do that the system default doesn't?

Somehow I was unable to reproduce this issue using reported version #59.0.3071.86 and latest canary #61.0.3136.0. Could you please find the attched screen cast and let us know if we missed any steps while reproducing the issue.


Thanks!!

@Sandeep Did you not find the "Amazon" icon in the end to have wrong (default) chrome icon in you "Start menu" after this?

Can someone re-triage this issue in latest chrome version.

Adjusting the milestone.

Tested the issue using #61.0.3163.7 and #63.0.3204.0 on Win 7, 10. Observed the icon of PWA after selecting Pin to Taskbar, Pin to Start Menu options as per the steps mentioned below.

1. Launched Browser, navigate to amazon, or some webpages
2. Added to Home screen
3. Pinned to Taskbar, Pinned to Start menu as well
4. Observed the icon's of the respective PWA's

Removing bisect label for now, add it back if required.

Thanks!!

#13: Thanks for looking. So you could not reproduce it?

I'm still able to reproduce this in the #68.0.3405.0 Canary build on Windows 10:

1. Navigate to YouTube.com
2. More Tools > Create Shortcut...
3. Shortcut creates on desktop with YouTube's icon.
4. Right-click, Pin to Start
5. Icon is the default Chrome Canary icon.

Deleting the chrome.VisualElementsManifest.xml does cause the YouTube icon to be used in a newly created shortcut in Start. However, it's displayed at a pretty small scale (see attachment).

Now, YouTube does not currently serve a Web App Manifest, so it's not technically a "PWA". It seems like Chrome could still use whatever icon is used in the desktop shortcut though.

This bug is extremely annoying!! My windows 10 auto updated itself to the new release and all chrome app icons got reset and now display the bloody chrome icon instead of the actual icon.

The following link seems to have more information on this issue.
https://superuser.com/questions/1143974/how-to-get-chrome-favicons-to-appear-in-windows-10-start-menu

Unfortunately all my employees and customers who I have setup windows 10 machines for do not know how to use powershell and to navigate to this stuff!! I dont understand why this bug has not been fixed in the last couple of years!

 Issue 803545  has been merged into this issue.

The dupe in comment 19 has workaround instructions. The code could probably just do what that workaround does.

I agree this is a pretty ugly bug. I pinned "Secure Shell App" to my start menu, and while the non-pinned start menu entry has the right icon, the pinned one has chrome's icon.

I think Alan is in this area at the moment. We should look into fixing this for Windows DPWA.

This has been noted on Twitter with M70 going to stable (https://twitter.com/webmaxru/status/1052306241794580480) and now has 12 stars. It's been a P1 since August.

 Issue 896708  has been merged into this issue.

Although Chrome doesn't use the desktop bridge, could it use these APIs to make a secondary tile in the start menu for pinned sites/apps: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/shell/tiles-and-notifications/secondary-tiles-desktop-pinning

+robliao who may know if it's possible to use the SecondaryTile API from Chrome.

Just rounding other here for completeness, as documented, the SecondaryTile API appears to require Desktop Bridge, likely to provide an application identity. Chrome will be unable to use Desktop Bridge for the foreseeable future.

Add chrome_proxy.exe target for bookmark app shortcuts to target on Windows

This change adds a new executable to Windows called chrome_proxy.exe which
opens chrome.exe with all arguments forwarded.

The purpose of the executable is for bookmark app shortcuts to target so
they don't pick up the chrome.VisualElementsManifest.xml file when pinned
to the Windows 10 start menu. This fixes a bug where pinned bookmark app
shortcuts all use the Chrome logo instead of their own.

Revert "Add chrome_proxy.exe target for bookmark app shortcuts to target on Windows"

This reverts commit 6d4576ad4644c9a41e7801d635d3894a2f783ed2.

Reason for revert:
On second thought this is too risky to land on branch day.
Also I want to land the new binary separately from the shortcuts pointing to it so we can make sure it deploys properly before irreversibly depending on it (it's difficult to update shortcuts).

Add chrome_proxy.exe target on Windows

This change adds a new executable to Windows called chrome_proxy.exe which
opens chrome.exe with all arguments forwarded.

In a future patch bookmark app shortcuts will be updated to point to
chrome_proxy.exe instead of chrome.exe so they don't pick up the
chrome.VisualElementsManifest.xml file when pinned to the Windows 10
start menu. This fixes a bug where pinned bookmark app shortcuts all
use the Chrome logo instead of their own.

This is a reland of https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/1362695
with the rename logic to account for chrome_proxy.exe not existing.

Make bookmark app shortcuts target chrome_proxy.exe on Windows

This CL updates the bookmark app shortcut creation code to target
chrome_proxy.exe instead of chrome.exe. chrome_proxy.exe just opens
chrome.exe with all arguments forwarded and is behaviourally equivalent.

The primary difference is chrome_proxy.exe isn't associated with the
chrome.VisualElementsManifest.xml file. This fixes a bug where pinned
bookmark app shortcuts all use the Chrome logo instead of their own.

Verified this is fixed for new shortcuts on Windows 10 Chrome canary 73.0.3672.0.

Yay, this is awesome. Great stuff Alan!

Screenshot of fix working because I like screenshots.
