Shortcut icon doesn't display icon, task manager displays weird version of it C#

Question

I made an ico file. I made it my default icon for application, but on task manager it changes icon. It makes background white.

When i expand on task manager it shows correct icon on form1. Also it shows correct icon for normal exe. But shortcut ( created with setup wizard ) has no icon at all.

I tried to change to release but nothing changed, i have no idea why.

Here are some screenshots:

Can you try to right click your project -> Properties -> Application Tab (1st Tab) and select your item there — Simon, Dec 12 '17 at 13:31

how did you create this icon?

it could be a problem of inadequate processing during the saving.

try working on a PNG file and then convert it to an icon, using a tool like this pngtoico

I created at illustrator as PNG file then converted on a site like you said. So this is not the case... – DeveloperKurt Dec 12 '17 at 16:37
