Windows 10: How can I remove the Windows Defender Icon from an app shortcut?

A couple of my apps that are "flagged" by Windows defender have that obnoxious Windows Defender icon on them and it's driving me insane. Is there any workaround that will get rid of it?side note: would it kill Microsoft to make Defender less obnoxious? I already had to turn off all Defender notifications for all instances because it asked for permission EVERY TIME the app is opened and you can't include exclusionsThis is what I'm talking about:Is there some sort of custom shortcut I can make that won't have that icon by default?

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.
