Well, Windows 10 and 11, both, cure the problem automatically by re-assigning the corresponding icons to those shortcuts after some time. But...

Hello @Brink and thanks for the prompt reply.
All other apps I can manually restart, but not COMODO Internet Security.
That's why I need a solution for restoring those icons without the need for killing explorer.exe.

Taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
CD /d...
