I have been using Microsoft Edge for around 8 months now.
While at the beginning none of my favorites in the favorite bar had an icon, after a few days the icons started to be display. However, it is in the state as shown in the picture below since then. I can remove and re-add the favorites but the icons for these sites are never shown.
- The icons of the same sites are properly shown in current versions of Firefox and Chrome
- I am using Microsoft Edge 38.14393.0.0 on Windows 10 Anniversary
- I have ~40 favorites where only 20 of them have proper icons instead of stars
- The websites connected to these favorites include YouTube, Amazon, Xing, heise, Steam, Twitch and others.

I can't tell you why/how this is happening... but I can recommend a way to fix it. There is a free 3rd-party application called EdgeManage that can repopulate missing favorite icons.
