Windows 10: Weird Icon in my Windows search bar

Has anyone ever seen that before? Everywhere I check online doesn’t have it! Everyone I’ve asked online has never seen it. I haven’t been actively downloading anything and I didn’t add that or interact with the search bar in a few days. Any clues what it could be? Is it safe? Virus/Malware maybe?

Weird Search Bar Bug

So basically when I opened up my windows, I was opening discord in the search bar when I was greeted with this







So I searched it up and there were only 3 results and none of them worked. I tried deleting and reloading the icon cache it didn't work, I restarted, I shut down and turn on, none of them worked. Anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

 

Weird Search Bar Bug

I ran across a post that recommends Hitting "CTRL+R" when in Discord to reset and refresh the GUI. Give it a try.
