Title: v5 not respecting the option to delete Desktop shortcuts?
Post by: ashearera on July 27, 2025, 03:41:43 PM
This week just installed v5.2.3.0 after being prompted to from the old v4.5.

Never had an issue with Desktop shortcuts before, the old version would always delete them after updates.

Now, I'm noticing quite a few apps are not respecting the tick box in "Settings > Appearance Options > Remove Desktop shortcuts for apps after installation".

Some recent examples today: Firefox, NVidia app, VirtualBox, Bitwarden.

Is this a known issue in this new version? Still on Windows 10 22H2.

Thanks!

We are taking a look and will ensure we have the right names if they are not.

Any update on this one? I've noticed a couple more apps doing this recently unfortunately I just deleted them mindlessly without taking note of names haha. Is it an underlying problem with the new publisher or app specific?]

Thanks
