Do you happen to have Google Drive installed?

@claudioweiler It's a known bug caused by Google Drive unfortunately. See here for instance: https://superuser.com/a/1323021
(Under "Issue 1: Third-party thumbnail handlers for .png")

You can find out a lot more about it when you search for "google drive start menu missing icons" or similar on the internet. It's definitely not caused by anything Windows Terminal does.

Oh, I see @lhecker!

Sorry for wrong issue open. I assumed wrong this is an Terminal issue because it's the only broken icon.
