Affinity App icons in Windows taskbar are black


Recommended Posts

Windows 10. Very strange that this new app installation procedure doesn't create desktop (or Start Menu) shortcuts. Skype and NVIDIA Control Panel, by the way, are also installed in the WindowsApps folder and shortcuts can be found in the Start Menu.

I followed the directions as mentioned in this FAQ: 

This works but when I right-click the icons and opt for 'Pin to Taskbar' only empty shortcuts ('black icons') are created there. They work but you first have to hover with the mouse over them to see which app it concerns. Unworkable, so I had to unpin them again but would really like to have quick links in the taskbar again.

Have the same problem.

Finally a response!

Update from my side: I just installed the Affinity suite on my new computer and have exactly the same problem. I now use PowerToys to be able to quickly load any of the three apps.
