Open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc, or right-clicking the taskbar and selecting Task Manager. In order for the icon to be updated you may need to restart the Windows Explorer process. Alternatively if the application has multiple icons associated with it (which Visual Studio does), you can simply select an icon from the list.Īfter clicking OK and then either Apply or OK to close the Properties dialog, you might be wondering why the icon hasn’t changed. Select a new icon file by clicking Browse. Again, click Properties.įrom the Properties dialog, go to the Shortcut tab and click the Change Icon button. From the secondary context menu, click Properties.Īlternatively, if you hold Shift and right-click the icon on the taskbar, you get the standard Windows Explorer context menu, instead of the application jump list. Start by right-clicking on the icon in the taskbar and then right-clicking on the name of the application. In this post I’ll run through how to change the icon. Luckily Windows provides an easy way to change the icon that appears in the taskbar. If I hovered over the icon, the tooltip indicated that the one on the right is Visual Studio 2019 Preview but I wanted a quicker way to differentiate between them.
After installing both Visual Studio and Visual Studio Preview I ran into the issue that when I pinned both to the taskbar, I didn’t know which was which.
