Start menu shortcut issues
Posted: Tue Jun 11, 2019 7:46 pm
Ok. So I have UVK installed on my system. However, I go to my start menu and notice there is no entry for uvk anywhere. I then go to C:\Programdata\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and verify there is no UVK folder or entry. So I create a UVK folder (C:\Programdata\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\UVK) and copy the shortcut already available in the program files directory to the newly created aformentioned directory. I check the start menu and confirm that there is a UVK shortcut present. I launch UVK. There is an available update to install, so I go ahead and initiate the update. While the update was installing, I actually had the UVK start menu folder I had created open in explorer, and after the update had been completed, the UVK folder I had created had been deleted and not recreated (that explorer session got kicked back to the C:\Programdata\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder due to the UVK folder being deleted), forcing me to, once again, go through the exact same process I had just gone through to manually create the start menu item. I saw that there were previous posts that address this issue, but the developer had gone in and claimed that a new update fixed the issue. This post is to make perfectly clear that this issue is not resolved. I mean come on. Considering the number of advanced features available in UVK, why is creating a start menu shortcut so difficult....
