Each time that you start a new application, Windows automatically extracts the application name from the exe file, and stores it for later use, in Registry key known as the 'MuiCache'.

The information is stored in the registry key

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache

Delete the relevant entries in MUICache and it may fix your issue. You might need to restart your computer as well.

The MuiCache stores strings that are used by applications, particularly the names of executable files. This caching helps Windows optimize the loading and display of application names and other metadata in various parts of the operating system, like the taskbar or when using the search functionality.

Over time, the MuiCache can grow as more applications are installed and used. Windows periodically cleans up outdated or unused entries in this registry key. Users can also manually clear this cache if they encounter issues with incorrect or outdated application metadata being displayed.

You should change the Title within the Assembly Information.

Within the Application Properties page there is a button Assembly Information, open it and change the Title. See the following links:

Application Properties then Assembly Information

The name that appear in Task Manager is the name to your executable program. You can change it, by using the properties of your project.

Right click on your project -> select Applicattion Tab -> change assembly name.
