HotCakeX Another tester found a solution:

Right click the Taskbar icon, go to Microsoft Edge Canary, right click

and choose Properties. Choose change icon and in the Browse box

navigate to:   %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\User Data\Default\Edge Profile.ico

Choose the Canary icon and apply. It worked for me on the Taskbar

and Desktop icon. It does not change the Start Menu icon.
