Usually if you just drag the app's icon from the All apps list to the desktop the icon stays even after a reboot.

Have you tried right clicking on the icon and choosing Properties? There should be an option to to change the icon.

Rebuilding your icon cache should bring it back if it is still a valid app. Rebuild Icon Cache in Windows 11 Tutorial

thank you for the answers..let me explain better..for example..the app whatsup..make the link to the desktop...after rename whatup link in whatsup and until I don't restart is good..after restart the icon is still on the desktop but is white...right switch, change the icon but the list of the icons is the windows list not the whatsup or another program....and I don't understand what is the different between an app and a program...unfortunately whatsup is downloading only as app..not as program

Don't rename it and it should stay.
