Anyone else have a black square over the photoshop taskbar icon after updating to 20.2.0?  I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, unpinning from taskbar.  Photoshop works fine but looking at this black square is driving me nuts!

Yes i have the same issue and it's infuriating. I have tried changing it in Windows 10 including the themes and colours and tried removing and adding the task bar icon but nothing fixes it. For many Windows users this is a major issue. The solution provided by the employee fails to understand that there's something showing just nothing useful, the icon location is not blank it's just a section of dark navy blue with a black box covering the remainder.

I'm having the same problem. Have you found a fix for this yet?

None of my other Adobe icons have the problem. On windows 10 as well.

Adobe changed the icon from PS 21.1.3 however the Icon is not Black on myWindows 10 Pro version 2004 which is the latest Windows Update just a few days old.
