Description
Every once in a while my fman taskbar shortcut breaks, becoming a blank, white document icon, seemingly after the program updates. It's an easy fix, remove the old shortcut and just open the .exe directly to re-pin it to the taskbar. Just figured I'd at least post about the issue for awareness.

Research direction
First reproduce the taskbar shortcut failure on Windows, including after a program update, and compare the broken shortcut with the directly launched .exe. Done means the fman shortcut remains a usable application icon after updating; the report does not identify source files or tests to inspect.
