Description

The installer installs the app into some %APPDATA% folder and user has no way of finding the app or launching it.

In order to create these shortcuts I now go into this folder and run the Update.exe with some parameters and it creates the shortcuts, but the installer itself does not do it automatically.

I'm surprised that this has not been reported already - is this something that used to work before?
I'm using Windows 10.
