Dev channel update to 89.0.723.0 is live
- Fixed an issue where updating Edge sometimes causes apps installed as websites to lose their Taskbar shortcut icons.
Unfortunately, this is still happening even on builds >= 89.0.723.0 (Dev and Canary) on my machine, including today's Canary (727).

Scharkenberg Are you on a Windows Insider build like HotCakeX? Also, does uninstalling and reinstalling the app change anything, and do you have any example you can share of websites that this happens on?

josh_bodner Yes, I have been on Windows Insider Dev builds. This happens for any "installed" website - e.g. Discord, Hacker News, Youtube Music, etc. I uninstalled 726 yesterday shortly after you put up the post with news of the fix (since I wanted to start from a clean state), and installed it anew. I installed the previously mentioned websites as apps, and shortly thereafter the 727 update came, and the icons were lost again.

since we are both on Dev channel of Windows insider and are experiencing the same thing, maybe it's somehow related to these 2 issues regarding pinned sites to taskbar:
