Environment

Windows build number: Win32NT 10.0.19042.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19042.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.4.2652.0

Steps to reproduce

Add something with a custom icon. For example:

 // Backup server
"name": "Backup",
"guid":  "{5061f744-37f9-4c7c-aba5-51fa0789ee01}",
"icon": "C:/Users/Mystic/OneDrive/Software/Resources/Icons/Terminal/centos.png",
"commandline": "ssh user@ip",
"suppressApplicationTitle": true,
"tabColor": "#147967",
"fontFace": "MesloLGS NF",
"fontSize": 9,
"cursorShape": "vintage",
"historySize": 9001  

And my icons are here

Expected behavior

Icons are displayed on the taskbar (by right-clicking)

Actual behavior

Only the standard powershell icon is displayed

But everything is fine in the terminal itself.

Need to be replaced all the way, or just at the beginning? If it's not difficult, can you give an example? Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but nothing has changed for me.

upd Replacement only worked with \\. Thanks anyway, although if it can be fixed it would be nice, I think this is not the last issue with this problem.
