Windows 10: How do i get rid of this random tab winforms icon?

Whenever i open up my pc a random tab appears and it seems to be the winforms icon and sometimes a video inside it plays, whenever i delete the tab in a few minutes it comes back, this tab slows down my pc’s performance, the tab doesn’t show up on the taskbar and i am not able to enter the tab only when i press alt+tab can i then see it.Thanks

I have a second "ghost" desktop in Windows 10. I do not know where or when it appeared and cannot get rid of it. How do I get rid of it?

Recently, a "ghost" desktop has appeared on my computer. It shows a list of a number of website tabs behind my desktop icons. Clicking on the exit "X" does not get rid of it. Nothing seems to get rid of it. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Icons for shortcuts on Apps tab

Hello, Thomas Wilson6

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

To change the icons for shortcuts on the Apps tab in Windows 10, you need to follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the shortcut and select Properties from the dropdown menu.
   
2. Navigate to the Shortcut tab. If the shortcut points to a web page instead of an application, look in the “Web Document” tab.
   
3. Select Change Icon at the bottom of the window.
   
4. You’ll see all alternative icons available for the app in the Windows library. If you want to use a custom icon, click Browse and locate the ICO file that you want to use. You can convert PNG images to ICO files using online tools like ConvertICO.
   
5. Once you select an icon, click OK to apply it.
   

You can repeat this process for any shortcut on the Apps tab that you want to customize.

Let me know if you have any other concerns.

Best regards
