Solution

Replace this:

<link id="Link1" runat="server" rel="shortcut icon" href="~/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link id="Link2" runat="server" rel="icon" href="~/favicon.ico" type="image/ico" />

With

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="~/favicon.ico" />

You can download standard icon here.

OTHER TIPS

Just copy your favicon.ico to root older while deploying. And clear all your browser cookies before testing. It will surely show up.

You could try this

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
