It sounds like you have a .desktop file in your ~/.config/autostart/ that does not have an icon associated. (That is a hidden folder). Are you willing to post that file?

A copy might also be in ~/.local/share/applications/

In autostart, I have exactly one file - Telegram, installed from https://flathub.org/apps/org.telegram.desktop:

$ cat ~/.config/autostart/org.telegram.desktop.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=org.telegram.desktop
Exec=flatpak run --command=telegram-desktop org.telegram.desktop -autostart
X-Flatpak=org.telegram.desktop

~/.local/share/applications has one .desktop file without Icon= in it, honestly I am not sure where did it even come from:

$ cat ~/.local/share/applications/userapp-Firefox-YMM3I2.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
NoDisplay=true
Exec=/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin %u
Name=Firefox
Comment=Custom definition for Firefox

As a workaround to be able to start the Tweaks app, you can edit the telegram autostart desktop file and add an Icon line like this. It doesn't matter that the icon file probably doesn't even exist.

Icon=telegram

The Firefox .desktop file doesn't matter for this issue.
