Desktop Application Bug?? - PBI desktop application left navigation icons always solid black

[slaneyg]

Regardless of desktop appearance selection (dark, legacy, light, system default) the top three icons on the left nav (Report view, Table view and model view) are now rendered solid black.  Has anyone seen this? The icons are functional, just solid black.  Pretty sure this showed up just today; repaired the install to no effect. - Using November 2025 Release.

@marcorusso published an explanation and a workaround:

Obviously the black icons are caused by WebView2 not by Power BI.
