Windows 10: Why is Edge showing up as a blank icon on my taskbar when I run it?

No other app does this: Edge shows up as a blank white paper icon when I run it. On the desktop and on the start menu, it has an icon, even pinning it to the taskbar shows it having an icon, but when I run it, a new icon appears (the blank page) and I can't seem to fix it!

I have tried rebooting, restarting windows explorer, resetting icon cache, uninstalling and reinstalling New Edge, deleting all the Edge files in its directory, booting into safe mode, and running sfc /scannow on CMD. I can't think of anything else to try.

This issue doesn't occur with old Edge (after deleting new Edge).

I'm using Windows 10 Home 2004 Build 19041.508

2. Ran quick repair on Office 365 & restarted Windows.
