Question Why does my DDU icon change back to a W10 generic icon?

[1405]

When I go to change it back, the correct icon is there for me to choose, but it won't change the one on the screen. The one on the screen remains the generic icon.

This could be secondary to icon cache having become corrupted. See the search results from:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Windows+10+Rebuild+icon+cache

There is a long list of tutorials and I have no idea which will suit you best, but I would try rebuilding the system icon cache.

...but I just installed DDU. How can the cache be corrupt right after a fresh install?
