Describe the bug

When you remove Internet Explorer, icons for URL files don't appear until they've been copied.

Area of issue

Start menu

To reproduce

  1. The easiest way is to have a Steam game installed with a start menu shortcut. Any URLs with unique icons work, though.
  2. Go to Windows Settings
  3. Go to Apps & features
  4. Go to Optional features
  5. Remove Internet Explorer 11

Expected behavior

I expected the icons to go back to normal immediately after I pointed Windows to open URL files with my web browser.

Open-Shell version

4.4.170

Windows version

Windows 10 22H2

Additional context

Icons reappear after you make a copy or shortcut of the file.
