GitBash duplicate taskbar icon

Question

I've just re-installed Git on my Win10 PC and tried to pin Git Bash to my taskbar.

For some reason now, when I open Bash from my taskbar shortcut, it displays duplicate icon on the taskbar. I tried to pin that icon but once I end the terminal session, that shortcut is deleted. I've tried multiple Win10 sites but most just say to repin the new icon.

Prior to updating I could pin it fine with no issues.

Answer 1

I did this for Windows 7:

1. Make sure there was no other (older) Git Bash appearing in Start Menu
2. Remove any existing pinned Git Bash from Taskbar
3. Launch Git Bash
4. Pin this launched window to Taskbar (instead of the one appearing in Start Menu)
