How can I refresh the icons used by a deployed application?

5 views (last 30 days)
I am actually working on an application that we plan to deploy to our colleagues using the Matlab Compiler. For my test run, I tried changing the icons before packaging and then installed the application. All went well.
I then changed my mind and went back to Matlab's default set of icons and re-packaged my application. Now, whenever I install the application and add a Desktop Shortcut (Windows 10), it uses the 'old' icon I used the first time around. There is no way to revert back to Matlab's default set of icons, no matter what I try.
Any ideas on how to refresh the icons used by a deployed application? Thanks!

What do you mean by "changed the icons before packaging"?
If you are using the Matlab compiler gui there is a subtle button next to the "Application Name" Field which looks like the default icon, clicking that allows you to select a different icon for your code which becomes the shortcut/application icon.
That's worked for me in the past.

I had this issue also. I believe it is a windows icon cache issue. I followed the instruction from the link below and it worked for me.
