Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing Start menu shortcuts for ArchWSL installed via scoop on Windows 10 with WSLg, using the versions described in the issue. Trace how WSLg apps are registered for the Start menu and determine whether non-Microsoft Store distributions are handled; done means shortcuts are created or a documented manual workaround is provided.
