Additional context
I believe this is happening because the program icon is only available in one resolution (there should be icons in 16x16, 24x24, 32x32, 48x48, 128x128 and 256x256 stored in the program to display) and Windows is trying to scale it to fit the desired icon size, which it can't do well.

My screen resolution is 1920x1200 if that helps.
