In my case, the first method fixed the missing icon immediately. Thankfully, I found a couple of ways to get the proper Adobe Acrobat DC or Acrobat Reader DC icon back on the taskbar and Start menu. Even Adobe Acrobat DC (Pro and Standard) seems to be affected by this. Obviously, Adobe has done nothing to patch it up. That is why I finally took the time to look around for a method to fix it using other means.īut what surprised me was the fact that this missing icon bug had been plaguing users for years. And repairing the program did nothing to resolve the issue. The issue even affected the Start menu entries of the program.Īcrobat Reader DC still worked fine, but the missing icon just bugged me a lot.

In its place, all I could see was a generic-looking icon that resembled the native Photos app. For the past several months, I've had to deal with an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC installation that didn't display the proper taskbar icon whenever I launched it.
