spetimus I managed to fix it. For me it seems like the issue is with the shortcut to Spotify not Spotify itself. Here is how I fixed it:
1. Search -> Spotify -> right click the icon
2. from there, select open file location, this should bring up where the shortcut to Spotify is saved.
3. After that, right click the shortcut and once again right click -> open file location
4. Now you should see the actual app and not the shortcut. Unpin the old icon and close Spotify
5. Then, right click -> pin to taskbar on the direct app and the icon should return. Hope this helps!
I also tried the directly changing icon mentioned elsewhere in the replies but nothing seemed to change.
