When making icons for Windows, it is important to generate the multiple ICO files on different sizes and pack them into one single ICO file.

Using a tool such as icomake is recommended for this: https://github.com/tringi/icomake

The recommended workflow is to progressively downscale the icon into the following sizes and export them from a tool that supports exporting to ICO:

• 256.ico, 256x256
• 128.ico, 128x128
• 64.ico, 64x64
• 32.ico, 32x32
• 16.ico, 16x16

Once these are ready, icomake can pack these into one icon with the following command:

.\icomake.exe app.ico 16.ico 32.ico 64.ico 128.ico 256.ico

If done correctly, Windows will now pick the icon with the correct size on the title bar, the taskbar and as a shortcut.
