Still problems with your shortcuts!?

When you refer to Shorcuts in Windows 10, are you referring to the Desktop or the Start menu (or Taskbar)?

I have been aware many years Windows Shortcuts are not as reliable as MacOS Alias equivalent. You can even move the original item into different folder on MacOS and the Alias will not break, but this does not work if a different drive.

On Windows however, as I mentioned in a previous thread about this topic, a shortcut will usually break when the original item has either been moved elsewhere or deleted from the system.

I have a suspicion you are making an error when you right-click an item; potentially choosing the wrong option which creates or breaks the shortcut.

Many installers will create shortcuts. Those from Developers with some sense of ethics will ask if you wish a shortcut to be created. Some installers might not ask and install shortcuts anyway.

AFAIK these are the methods of creating some form of shortcut:
Pin to Taskbar,
Pin to Start,
Pin to Quick access,
Send to > Desktop (create Shortcut).
