          Is the icon for Opera on the start screen (as opposed to the taskbar) correct?

              Well that's good, I assume you've tried just unpinning it from the taskbar and then pinning it again?

                    Ah right, sorry I assumed it was pinned.
                    Is the pinned icon on the taskbar correct?

                      You can't do it in the taskbar, you need to right click the actual file.

                      Beside the Opera logo isn't appearing, your icon seems very functional.

                      Try creating a shortcut in the desktop and then move it to the taskbar.

                        if i pin it from desktop then the oper icon appears on the taskbar . if i press it then a new window opens with the same problem. its not tabs in the normal icon(i dont want it pinned though) but i have now pinned opera, and a generic icon to use

                          So if you have Opera pinned to the taskbar, and you run it using that taskbar pinned icon, are you saying that another (blank) icon then appears for it on the taskbar?
                          If so, that certainly shouldn't happen!

                                What happens if you right click on the spurious blank icon?
                                Do you get any options pop up?

                                    Unfortunately I only have Opera 12.17 installed on Windows 8.1, the later version is only on XP, so I can't really compare the behaviour on my machine to yours, but certainly having two icons when Opera is running as well as pinned to the taskbar is correct.
                                    The oddity is that the icon that only appears when Opera is running should look the same as the one on the pinned icon, and in your case it's not.
                                    Are you running Opera from the pinned icon, or using another shortcut to run it?

                                        Well assuming that the icons on all of the shortcuts you're using are correct, I really can't imagine what the problem is.
                                        I think someone else who has Opera 28 installed on Windows 8.1 needs to confirm that this isn't the normal behaviour.
