HTA icon not showing up using IE10

I need to use something which is compatible with IE10 and not with IE9.

My HTA was made for IE9 and worked fine : visible icon and maximized windows.

By changing <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="ie=9"/> to <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="ie=10"/>, there is no icon and the windows is not maximized.

Any idea please ?

NOT working :

<html>

<head> 
<title>test</title>
<HTA:APPLICATION ID = "1"
    APPLICATIONNAME="1"
    BORDER="thin"
    BORDERSTYLE="normal"
    ICON="icon.ico"
    MAXIMIZEBUTTON="yes"
    MINIMIZEBUTTON="yes"
    SHOWINTASKBAR="yes"
    SINGLEINSTANCE="yes"
    SYSMENU="yes"
    WINDOWSTATE="maximize">
<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="ie=10"/>
</head>
<!---->
<body style="overflow:hidden;">
No icon and not maximized, with ie=10
</body>
</html>

Working : but I need IE10 now.

<html>
<head> 
<title>Test</title>
<HTA:APPLICATION ID = "1"
    APPLICATIONNAME="1"
    BORDER="thin"
    BORDERSTYLE="normal"
    ICON="icon.ico"
    MAXIMIZEBUTTON="yes"
    MINIMIZEBUTTON="yes"
    SHOWINTASKBAR="yes"
    SINGLEINSTANCE="yes"
    SYSMENU="yes"
    WINDOWSTATE="maximize">
<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="ie=9"/>
</head>
<!---->
<body style="overflow:hidden;">
Icon showing correctly with ie=9
</body>
</html>

What usually works for me, is to have an HTA with NAVIGABLE set to yes, and changing the window.location to an HTML file using standard HTML. This allows the use of the HTA properties on the one hand, and the use of IE=edge (or another targeted IE version) on the other:

myHTA.hta

<html>
<head> 
<title>test</title>
<HTA:APPLICATION ID = "1"
    APPLICATIONNAME="1"
    BORDER="thin"
    BORDERSTYLE="normal"
    ICON="icon.ico"
    MAXIMIZEBUTTON="yes"
    MINIMIZEBUTTON="yes"
    NAVIGABLE="yes"
    SHOWINTASKBAR="yes"
    SINGLEINSTANCE="yes"
    SYSMENU="yes"
    WINDOWSTATE="maximize">

<script>
    window.location = 'htaContent.html';
</script>
</head>
</html>

htaContent.html

<html>
<head> 
<title>test</title>
<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="ie=10"/>
</head>
<body style="overflow:hidden;">
    Put your HTML content here
</body>
</html>
