This happens to me on every upgrade. At the end of the upgrade install, I choose to start TCC. I then right click on the task bar icon and choose unpin. I then right click again and choose to pin. This seems to fix the icon.
That happens because the icon for the task bar is from the Windows installer> strangely enough - yes, that seems to fix the issue! Wonder why...... any insights would be welcome!

That happens because the icon for the task bar is from the Windows installer folder rather than from the program itself. When you install a new version the old installer folder is no longer valid.

Almost all Windows Installer shortcuts do this. It has its advantages... namely the install on demand as previously mentioned, and the fact that it can repair the program automatically even if the main exe file is deleted, for example.Other programs I install with install programs use the icon from the exe. TC is the only one I've noticed that doesn't.
