Most gui programmers using the standard tkinter framework has ecountered this error at least once when trying to change the ugly looking red tkinter default icon. I had my share recently and tried to trace the error for days without success and even nearly ported my program to another framework before I arrived at a solution.
First, you must make sure the .ico file is in your working
directory i.e same directory with the script you’re running. Then pass just the
file name to the iconbitmap function.App = Tk() App.wm_iconbitmap("favicon.ico")
Otherwise, you must
specify the complete link to the ico file
App.wm_iconbitmap(r"Python27\images\favicon.ico")
After ensuring the above conditions, you MUST ensure that
your icon is a valid .ico file which was the problem in my case. I just grabbed
a random icon with a PNG extension and renamed it to .ico which was the cause
of my predicament. After much trial, I downloaded and replaced my icon with a
valid ico file and the error was gone!
I hope this saves you some fruitless hours of debugging... Happy coding!

from tkinter import*

root.title("Restaurant Management System")
root.wm_iconbitmap(r"C:\Users\SAYAN\Downloads\f.ico")
root.mainloop()
Still giving me error
return self.tk.call('wm', 'iconbitmap', self._w, bitmap)
TclError: bitmap "C:\Users\SAYAN\Downloads\f.ico" not defined
I'm using Python 3.6 in Spyder IDE
Thanks in advance
