[Python] Logo wont show on the Taskbar

I've been struggling to get my application icon to appear correctly in both windows' titlebar and Windows taskbar for my PyInstaller-packaged Python Tkinter application. Here's what I've tried thus far:

1.Standard Tkinter approach - Using root.iconbitmap():

root = tk.Tk()


root.iconbitmap('flarepie_logo.ico')

2.Setting AppUserModelID

import ctypes


app_id = 'com.mycompany.myapp.5.5' ctypes.windll.shell32.SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID(app_id)

3.PyInstaller packaging

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --icon=logo.ico myapp.py

1. 
   Both iconbitmap and iconphoto
   
   root.iconbitmap('logo.ico') logo_img = tk.PhotoImage(file='logo.png') root.iconphoto(True, logo_img)
   
   
2. 
   Absoulute Path
   
   ico_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)), 'logo.ico')
   
   
   root.iconbitmap(ico_path)
   

6.PyWin32

import win32gui
import win32con
import win32api

def set_taskbar_icon(self):
hwnd = win32gui.GetParent(self.root.winfo_id())
icon_path = os.path.abspath("logo.ico")

big_icon = win32gui.LoadImage(
0, icon_path, win32con.IMAGE_ICON,
32, 32, win32con.LR_LOADFROMFILE
)
small_icon = win32gui.LoadImage(
0, icon_path, win32con.IMAGE_ICON,
16, 16, win32con.LR_LOADFROMFILE
)

win32api.SendMessage(hwnd, win32con.WM_SETICON, win32con.ICON_BIG, big_icon)
win32api.SendMessage(hwnd, win32con.WM_SETICON, win32con.ICON_SMALL, small_icon)


Sometimes logo appears on left upper side of the ui but not on the taskbar after i convert it to.exe , I use Windows 11 and Python 3.12 and i am tired of this. Has anyone solved this issue with icons in PyInstaller packaged Tkinter applications on Windows? Any other approaches I should try?
