### What happened?
When creating a shortcut on Windows, the code that the shortcut is running is something like this:
```
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /D /C START /MIN "" "C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -WindowStyle hidden "start 'C:\Users\path\to\miniforge3\envs\myapp_env\Menu\myapp 1.0.0.bat' -WindowStyle hidden"
```
Something about this is being flagged by our security software as malicious. Why is it so convoluted? Is there an easier way than having one shell calling another shell and having multiple hidden flags in the mix?
