[Python] How to set aplication icon in PyQt6?

I have a small application on Python with PyQt6. Trying to set an icon with

app.setWindowIcon(QIcon('ui\app.ico'))


without any success. It sets window icon but the taskbar icon remains unchanged.

I also tried adding

import ctypes
myappid = 'mycompany.myproduct.subproduct.version' # arbitrary string
ctypes.windll.shell32.SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID(myappid)

Icon size is 128x128. I am using Windows 11 23H2, Python 3.10.11, PyQt 6.7.0. Running application in Poetry 1.8.3 venv if this does matter.
