Since yesterday (5-14-25), the icon disappeared from the desktop on 3 different computers. It occurs shortly after startup. I can recreate the shortcut, but what is deleting it?
I turned on a 4th computer & it's not gone, yet.
Here's one way it gets deleted: Launch Patch MyPC Home Updater-->About-->Check for Updates.
If it finds an update & installs it, the desktop icon is deleted. Then you have to manually create it.
I think this is another way it occurs...
When updates are checked & nothing new is found, the shortcut is deleted unless you have manually created the shortcut, then it does not get deleted.

We found a bug in the MSI installer for version 5.2.1. We will look at addressing this so it won't remove the shortcut during upgrade.
When it first happened, I thought I might have deleted it by mistake. When it happened again on a different computer, I said "No, it's not me". The 3rd time confirmed my suspicions that it must be a bug.
BTW, great job on the new version. However, I find the dark theme too dark, & the light theme too light. Also, the window takes up a lot of desktop space. Make the Summary Panel smaller & place it at the top instead of the side, then you would have more room for the App panels. I can't resize the width of the window, only the height. My display resolution is 2560x1440. Right now it almost fills the entire width of the display.
Version 5.2.1.1 has fixed this bug.
