GitBash icon not showing correctly in taskbar [WIN10]

This is not a big problem but it's bothering me. I've installed it in Program Files (x86), already found many old solutions which didn't work for me. I can't install it in another location. I've tried to change the ico to a different one located in a path without spaces, but it didn't work.

Git CMD icon works fine (but I don't like this terminal), the problem persists only with GitBash icon

Can someone help?

The icon was missing in older versions (2.10: see issue 870)

In your case, make sure to install the latest 64-bits version (in Program Files, not Program Files (x86))

That would be: Git-2.15.0-64-bit.exe.

If that's the case

  • Delete the shortcut or
  • Replace the path with the current installation directory.
