   Hi,

   Could you please try the following steps and let us know if the issue is resolved:

   • Delete Adobe Acrobat icon from the Start Menu, the desktop and from the taskbar.
   • Go to C: > ProgramData > Microsoft > Windows > Start Menu > Programs and you’ll find the " Adobe Acrobat DC " with the wrong icon. The that looks like a shortcut. Delete it and close the window.
   • Go to C: > Program Files (x86) > Adobe > Acrobat DC > Acrobat and find Acrobat.exe
   • Right click on Acrobat.exe > Send to > Desktop
   • Right click again on Acrobat.exe > Pin to Start Menu… and close the window
   • Right click on Acrobat.exe – shortcut (that you just created on your desktop) > Copy
   • Go back to: C: > ProgramData > Microsoft > Windows > Start Menu > Programs… and Paste the shortcut here (you need administrator privileges for that)
   • Rename this shortcut from “Acrobat.exe – shortcut” to “Adobe Acrobat DC” and close the window
   • Again pin the icon on the taskbar.

   Thanks

   @Adobe, any update of this problem?

   It seems the icons in C:\Windows\Installer\{AC76BA86-1033-FFFF-7760-0C0F074E4100} are actually executables, not true .ico files which throws off Windows.
