Use the tool TileIconifier to create a custom link with a different icon.

Run the tool, click on "New custom shortcut", select here the tab "Windows Store", here select the app and create the shortcut.

In the main menu, select the shortcut of the app, double click on the medium icon entry and select the custom icon from an exe or your own .ico file and press ok
