This is a known Windows 11/Teams icon cache bug. Try clearing and rebuilding the icon cache again, then restart Explorer or reboot. If it persists, uninstall Teams completely with the Teams uninstaller tool, reboot, and reinstall from the official Teams download.

    Bonilla​ , as of today 2025-08-22 the icon magically works.  If I wait 1 week it will be broken again like before.

    Can you put the link to download the "Teams uninstaller tool"?   If I was a betting man, I would bet that this icon will go away in 1 or 2 weeks again.

    I thought since Teams is now only a Microsoft Store app, it doesn't have a "Teams uninstaller tool".  Please, please, send the link to the tool.  This isn't over.

      Three weeks go by and now I am seeing the Microsoft Paint icon scrambled.

      However the Teams icon is fine.   AndresGorzelany​ something else to rasie a bug for the next release of Windows updates.
