Could you please check that you posted the intended files: I don't see any difference in the images for ICON.DDS opened in XnView MP, ICON.PNG and my PNG image from XnConvert. What am I missing?
The correct ICON.DDS is shown in the Windows Explorer via NvidiaThumbnailDriver. And in Paint.net 4.3.12.
The destroyed ICON.PNG is shown in the Windows Explorer. And in Paint.net 4.3.12.
I compared all three images in XnView MP tabs, so possibly that is why I didn't see any difference: I haven't tried creating my own NConvert PNG, I just used your file as downloaded.
I am normally in Linux, and in my as-brief-as-possible time in Windows I don't normally pay any attention to file icons, so I am not well-placed to help...
Maybe now you have posted test viewing conditions, someone else can comment?

-in dds option make no difference, -out tiff resolved in the same wrecked image.
The two XnConvert and NConvert output files looked identical to me in XnView MP, and in a quick look showed seemingly identical properties in Image > Properties.., so I don't know where the problem is arising.
As I suggested in a PM I sent earlier, I suggest that you place files named ICON.DDS, ICON_XnConvert.PNG and ICON_NConvert.PNG in a ZIP you can attach, and provide a test situation to reproduce the issue. Someone else may then be able to identify the problem.
