WhatsappTray tray icon showing generic windows system icon

[chip33]

Describe the bug

Using the latest desktop version of Whatsapp v.2.2228.4 (from the download link not the store) located in %UserProfile% \AppData\Local\WhatsApp.

The icon shown in the System Tray is always just this generic windows system icon shown in image not the custom WhatsApp icon as expected. Toggling SHOW_UNREAD_MESSAGES=1 has no effect. The latest logfile is attached In all other ways this incredibly useful app appears to be working perfectly.

I have tried rebuilding windows icon cache. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this I would very much appreciate it :)
