Hi, as mentioned, Photoshop 21.2 has a corrupted taskbar icon, even after re-installation.
Anyone else having this?

The taskbar icon is a shortcut.

Delete the icon from the taskbar
Start to type "Photoshop" in the Start menu
Right-click "Photoshop" when it appears in list and pin it to the taskbar to create a new icon

Yay! Worked.

I've had the same problem since the 2020 version, and I'm disappointed to see it persists in the 2021 version.

I had the same problem with Photoshop CC 21(22.0.0 release) I installed on a new computer just now

This solution worked for me:

Unpin the icon from taskbar
If you don’t have a shortcut to Photoshop on the desktop create one
Right click the Photoshop shortcut on the desktop and chose “Properties“
Chose “change Icon” and change it to a different icon
Drag the shortcut to the task bar
Unpin the shortcut from the taskbar
Change the icon back to the original icon and drag it back to the taskbar. In details:
- Right click the Photoshop shortcut on the desktop and chose “Properties“
- Chose “change Icon” and change it to the original icon
- Drag the shortcut to the task bar

Same problem here...I've unpinned it numerous times and re-installed PS too. No change.
