Hello, did you try reset or repair?

AndresGorzelany , thank you so much for the suggested reset and repair. I tried both of these, but it did not resolve the issue.
The first part of link you sent worked because Microsoft Teams is a Microsoft Store App:
The second part of the instructions stated to use Control Panel -> Programs -> ..., but since Microsoft Teams is no longer a Microsoft Teams Classic app, it does not exist in Control Panel. I searched under the "M" and "T" section.
A few weeks ago, I had something similar happen with the Microsoft Store and DuckDuckGo app as shown below.
I decided to forget about it and a few weeks later around 2025-08-05 Microsoft deployed the Windows 11 Version 24H2 and after this update all the icons issues were resolved.
A week later after 24H2, now I have a white square Microsoft Teams icon. This seems to be a common issue for Windows 11.
AndresGorzelany , would you have any other suggestions to try to help resolve the issue?
How would I open a bug ticket with Microsoft Windows 11 team to have them look into this?
