Description
Project
MSIX SDK
Describe the bug
Application shortcut created is not honoring the parameters defined in the AppxManifest.xml
In the schema, it is mentioned that uap10:Parameters is available but this value is not being used in the MSIX SDK
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/schemas/appxpackage/uapmanifestschema/element-application
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- When creating a MSIX package, make sure to define Application@Executable and Application@uap10:Parameters in their Appxmanifest.xml.
- Install MSIX package
- The shortcut (.lnk) file will not contain the arguments defined in Appxmanifest.xml's Application@uap10:Parameters
Expected behavior
The shortcut (.lnk) file should contain the arguments defined in Appxmanifest.xml's Application@uap10:Parameters
Platform

Research direction
The issue names MSIX SDK, AppxManifest.xml, Application@Executable, and Application@uap10:Parameters but no source files or tests. Search the repository for shortcut creation and uap10:Parameters, then reproduce the Windows package steps described. Done means the generated .lnk contains the manifest-defined arguments.
