MS Teams desktop application shortcut displays as white and not the Teams app icon
Caleb_smith79 I have another solution. Before doing the following, You have to enable "Show hidden files" in File Explorer. First, go to C:\ProgramData\Your computer manufacturer name \Microsoft\Teams\current\resources\assets and delete blueberryTaskbar.ico. Afterwards, Find Taskbar.ico and rename it to "blueberryTaskbar". If you have pinned Microsoft Teams in the taskbar, Then Right-click the icon and you can see Microsoft Teams, Right-click that and go to Properties. You can see a button "Change Icon..." press that and put this location the Box %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\HP\Microsoft\Teams\current\resources\assets\blueberryTaskbar.ico. You can see one icon. Press that and press "Apply" And press "Ok". Then Unpin The icon in the taskbar and pin it one more time. Then you can Press this icon
in the taskbar.if you don't see the microsoft teams icon after pressing this
You can open microsft teams and close the app
And right-click the teams icon.There You can find many option but you have to press Quit. Then reopen Teams. At last, You can see the Normal teams icon.
If you have any Problems, You can reply the Solution and I will do my best to fix that to.

Caleb_smith79 and RaihanKR , the information you are providing is not correct. It seems it is for some old version of Teams or it is meant for a time period where Microsoft had a toggle switch for Teams (new) and Teams Classic.
All the paths that you show don't exist. Here is what I tried:
cd %USERPROFILE%
cd %ALLUSERSPROFILE%
cd %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Lenovo\Microsoft\Teams
cd %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\cd %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Lenovo\
dir *Microsoft*
Here is an example from File Explorer, the folders don't exist:Can you fix your instructions or responses?

My solution was to right click the white icon (looks like a sheet of paper) and remove from the desktop. Open in the Windows tab and add shortcut to desktop and the icon displays correctly.
