VirtalBox 6.1.22 Blank Icon on Win 10 Taskbar

Post by Simple07 »

When installing VirtualBox 6.1.22 afresh on Windows 10 20H2 Build 19042.964 and accepting all standard setting, a VirtualBox icon is created on the desktop. But when starting VirtualBox 6.1.22, a blank icon appears on the Taskbar, if pinned to the Taskbar it still shows a blank icon.
Tried repairing the installation from the control panel, did not work. It is looking for an VirtualBox-6.1.22-r144080.msi that does not exist.
Uninstalling and reinstalling as Admin, did not work either nor did rebuilding the Icon Cache.
Uninstalling VirtualBox 6.1.22 and deleting the Oracle folder from "Program Files" then installing 6.1.18 fixed the issue and allowed pinning the icon to the taskbar.
Btw, upgrading from 6.1.18 to 6.1.22 keeps the proper icon already pinned to the taskbar.
