I don't exactly understand the issue you have, would you paraphrase it in a clearer "expected/actual" way? All I know, Windows 11 changed its standard console host application. This is my best guess why the behavior is different. I tested on Windows 10 only and some stuff was purely trial & error (icons in particular). I do not have the ability to spin up VMs for testing atm, though I'm generally interested in further work on it. For debugging, I suggest to compare what the link in Start Menu actually calls vs the arguments of the proccess (process tree) started as can be seen in Process Explorer (or Process Hacker). -- Cheers, Vadim
