Gotcha. That is an aircraft that gives you two choices. Turn off icing completely in options or do not fly in icing conditions. Even after icing is “fixed” those two options will still persist. The heavier than normal accretion of ice encountered in normal icing conditions is a bit of a bug but any airplane that is not certified for flight into known icing conditions (FIKIC) will be unsafe to operate even with normal icing.
The cold soaked icing bug introduced with the snow is a bit different and as such has received lots more press. However, if the plane you are in is certified FICIK then even that is no big deal. Just flip some switches and go. Not so in your 172.
