Did you activate this option? - http://gral.y0.pl/tc/tray.png
EDIT: it's rather taskbar pinned icon?
How do you run TC? By clicking this icon?
Described earlier viewtopic.php?t=77562 - seems there is no trusted solution?

It's possible that your Windows icon cache got damaged. This can happen when Windows tries to update the icon just when the installer is overwriting the executable. It sees that there is a new executable, but Windows Defender blocks it for a few seconds to scan it, so the icon cannot be read and turns blank. Solution: Make Windows rebuild the icon cache.
You can save the following code to a batch file, e.g. fixicons.bat, and then run it to recreate the icon cache:
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
mkdir Backup
Attrib -h IconCache.db
Copy /Y IconCache.db %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Backup
del iconcache.db
start C:\Windows\Explorer.exe
Pause
