Windows 10: Microsoft Edge Missing Icon in Search w11

This is specifically about the search menu in the "Best match recommended by microsoft", it works fine in the app list. Edge simply does not have an icon. I've tried everything I could find to fix it and nothing works. I'm really not interested in resetting windows just to fix this dumb bug.
