Description
We have our program, packaged into msix. But some users are still on Windows 7.
We made a built-in auto-update mechanism that simply launches msix when the new version comes out. As I understand it, the msix-core does not have an auto-update function.
After each update the desktop shortcut stops working. Users create a shortcut themselves from the start menu.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the desktop-shortcut failure on Windows 7 after the built-in updater launches the new MSIX version. Trace how the update affects the user-created Start menu shortcut; done means the shortcut continues to launch the updated program after each update.
