Hi,
you always have had this ability in Windows.
right-click on Edge's icon on desktop, go to properties, shortcut tab, select change icon.
there will be some icons there but the best thing is there is a browser button which lets you browser for any icon that you want. just make sure the picture or icon file you want to choose is in .ico format.

HotCakeXThis only works if you are changing the desktop icon, but the taskbar icon once edge is loaded continues to be the same blue color, how do we change that one?
- andrejd300Mar 20, 2021Copper ContributorThanks for you answer.
I know you can change icon that way, but that works only for desktop icon. When you open Edge, there is same old blue icon appears on taskbar.- HotCakeXMar 20, 2021MVP
Sorry i forgot the last part 🙂
after you do that, unpin the old icon from taskbar and drag the new one over the taskbar to pin it.
you can do the same to Start menu shortcuts:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programsbtw, can you please attach a screenshot of your taskbar? I want to see the old icons you're referring to.
- andrejd300Mar 20, 2021Copper ContributorI tried that and I had a nice orange Photoshop colored Edge icon on taskbar. 🙂 Very visible amongst other Word, Outlook, My Computer, Control Panel, etc, etc blue icons.
When the Edge is not running!
When I start Edge, there is same old blue boring icon.
