Hi patrickguerrisi,

Here's some additional info on why this happens. I hope it helps you.

MSIX does support using unique icons for each application/utility; the issue you are seeing is only a limitation of the MSIX Packaging Tool when it creates a package from an existing installer. Your app package has a manifest file which contains descriptions of each application contained in your package, including the icons used for each one. You can edit the manifest to point to unique icons in the package for each application.

You can add the files with the appropriate icons to your package and edit your package's manifest using the MSIX Packaging Tool, or you can use a third party utility to do it for you as Bodgan suggested.

Also might add this info if it helps troubleshoot this

I unpacked the "assets" folder which is where the MSIX packager tool puts all the icons with their different tile start menu sizes and as you can see in the screenshot i attached, it uses one of the suites icon graphic and uses them for all :

Doesnt look fun to individually customise each icon to their relative app/shortcut
