  4. After running these commands, restart your computer. Once your computer restarts, the icon cache should be cleared, and the correct icons should display for Steam. If the issue persists, you might also consider verifying the integrity of the Steam files through the Steam client. Feel free to try these steps and let me know if the issue is resolved!
