If it at all matters, specs:

Basically, hopefully the picture explains it, but, Steam is stealing MSEs icon,
It behaves fully like Steam, and if I right click the fake MSE icon it pops up the mini menu like Steam should....

Rebooting won't fix it, because it's done this on and off since I got Steam, as far as I can tell, there's nothing specific that makes the icon changes

Anyone got a fix?
or even just an explanation for what's causing the issue?

Huh, Cache or registry or something like that is broken..

Try CCleaner? Might work.

That's strange. I've had duplicate icons before, but one of them always disappears when I hover my mouse over it.

I say CCleaner as well.

That's a program crashing, it doesn't go away from the tray, but when you move your mouse over, it reloads the tray icon, sees it is missing and hides it.

Correct

also, forgot to mention, I run ccleaner quite often, so unless the registry keeps fucking up in the same way..

Try rebuilding icon cache

Open CMD and

taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
DEL IconCache.db /a

Then restart.

:smith:
Have done this before for some other unrelated problem.. something not having an icon at all in explorer iirc

but yeah, didn't fix it.. :saddowns:

Just as a sanity test, does steam have the right icon on the actual steam.exe?

[Mokkan13]

Assuming you meant in here;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam

Yeah, it does at the moment, I'll have a look next time I notice the icon error,
