Method 2: Creating a Registry File

If you prefer a faster method, you can create a file .reg to automate the process. Here's how to do:

1. Open an advanced text editor:
   • You can use Notepad or any other text editor.
2. Enter the following code:
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Discord] "DisplayIcon"="C:\\Users\\%UserProfile%\\AppData\\Local\\Discord\\app.ico"
3. Save the file with extension .reg:
   • Name the file as you prefer, for example FixDiscordIcon.reg.
   • Make sure you select “All files” in the rescue type and add .reg at the end of the file name.
4. Run the registry file:
   • Double-click the file .reg Just created.
   • Confirms the addition of information to the registry.

Following one of the methods described above, you should be able to restore the Discord icon in the Windows Uninstall menu. This workaround is simple and fast, allowing you to solve the problem without having to wait for an official update.
