* Windows 11, build 22000.120
* Dual monitor setup (4k in horizontal mode, 2k in vertical mode)
* Single taskbar
Some (but not all) icons are missing from the taskbar, with the status highlight (pill) showing.
The behavior is consistent and only applies to specific applications.
For example:
Icons visible:
* Microsoft code
* Telegram
* Notion
* Chrome
Icons missing:
* Whatsapp desktop
* Your Phone
* Spotify
* Microsoft Terminal
* Windows Settings
* Microsoft Paint
Attached - screenshot of the taskbar with a missing Whatsapp Desktop icon
How do I resolve this?
Thanks!

After further investigation:
I believe it's a Windows Store related problem
* Uninstalling the Store version of Whatsapp and installing the stand-alone version from the official website restored the application icon.
What didn't work:
* Reinstalling from the appstore
* Clearing the icon cache (manually)

@Alesupper What is your build number? At some point this stopped happening (the build I have installed is 22000.438, taken from from settings->System->About)
