Hi, I'm glad you've found this useful.

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).
