Blank shortcut icon GPU-Z

I know I am quite late but as I was scrolling through I saw this post which happened to one of friend too. This sometimes happens with Windows. Usually a reboot will solve the problem. However if this doesn't, try setting the icon for the shortcut(right-click pinned icon, right-click program, left-click properties, select "change icon...") or refreshing it by switching to a different icon, applying it, and then reverting back to the original icon. Remove the shortcut from the taskbar and replace it with the start menu shortcut or simply drag the .exe file to the taskbar.

Create shortcut to open website in Edge when IE is default webbrower

Thank you for the suggestion, but this poses two problems for my users:

1. The icon is that of a batch file and not of Edge, which would require me to change the icon for each shortcut on each PC.
2. This starts a command prompt window which pops up momentarily, which is confusing for a user.

I'd like to (ideally) have shortcut that has the Edge icon and opens in Edge directly.

Thanks!
