Windows 10 Taskbar Icons Customization Help

hello;
i have changed the default app icons in my taskbar and they look good, but when i run the app its icon changes to default until i close that app.

to let you know i just right click on icon on taskbar >>Properties>>Change Icon.

i also tried to save all app shortcuts on desktop and then changing their icons and re-pin in taskbar, but with same result.

I also tried third party app 7conifier, but no help.
So how can i stop this behavior?



As you can see in the following screenshots, in first one all custom icons are appearing, in second screenshot i run vlc and utorrent, so you can see icons are automatically changed to default ones.

If you always combine your icons, it should work, but I guess you want to know the other way around.

Oh yeah that worked for me...

i just change the taskbar setting "combine taskbar icons" from "when taskbar is full" to "always, hide labels" and so far it worked, but i would still love to find a way to make it work with first option that is "when taskbar is full". so lets hope someone might come with a workaround.

Thank you so much
