Why does the MSFS 2024 desktop icon keep reverting to a blank/default file icon?

Kind of annoying that I had to go through the Xbox app to even place a desktop icon in the first place, but that’s less annoying that seeing the default folder icon.

It’s most notable if you’re in the beta, because each time there’s a new update (not sure about navdata updates) it reverts to the folder icon and you have to change the icon again.

It is fixed on Win11 24H2 KB5062660 Preview. Not sure which windows version you are on but probably you will get this fix in couple days.

Moved to User Support Hub that is more appropriate for community support.

If i can find a Vivetool code for it i will share here to enable it earlier.

Just did every Windows 11 update that came up and it’s still doing it. Deleted the existing, opened up the Xbox app, manage/create desktop icon, same result. Frustratingly, it’s perfectly fine in the start menu window, lol.
