I have my game in a .exe format and I have changed the icon, however the new icon will only show when I put the file in a folder and when the file is on the desktop or hotbar it will show the gamemaker icon. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I believe there are different sizes of icons, which you have to upload a different icon for each, and you only put the smaller one, most probably. I haven't checked, but that's what I remember.

I already have uploaded each icon size as well as delete the original icon but that too did not seem to work.

Nevermind, It finally appeared as I wanted. My computer just required to have a virus scan, 216 viruses, and 4 restarts to start showing up (not an exaggeration).

Viruses aside, clear your icon cache. As long as a cached version of the icon is available, that will be used instead of whatever you define since icon cache entries are not updated automatically.
