MSFS2020 W10 Desktop icon picture

Featured Replies

Unfortunately, recently I needed to do a Window 10 RESET which uninstalled MSFS2020.

I have now reinstalled NSFS2020 however the desktop icon 'picture' is a very boring nothing.

I have researched how to change and unfortunately in the windows change icon there are no images which even remotely look like an aircraft of even just the characters FS.

I also have found on the internet that the files to change the icon picture need to be an exe file.

Does anyone have a suitable file or knows how to convert a jpg files to an icon file and how to apply that to the desktop icon?

Thanks

Please disregard.  The desktop icon for MSFS2020 has changed WITHOUT me doing anything from a blank icon to one which displays a meaningful image. This happened 3 hours after the finish of reinstalling MSFS2020. Oh the joys of windows.
