Shortcut BUG

from Stardock Forums

When using Start10 in Modern Style and setting up the Right-hand Shortcut list I choose to add 'SETTINGS' (Win10 Settings) to the right hand menu bar but it does not appear.  Instead it puts an incorrect link in the right list called 'Desktop'. When this erroneous link is clicked it says: program 'immersive control panel' not found.

The right-hand menu bar worked correctly with 'Settings' until Windows released 1511.  Now I cannot seem to get it to appear even with Start10 1.0.7.

 

This issue (bug) was originally brought up in September's thread:

Extra info:  What happens is that on adding the right-hand shortcut 'settings' (i.e. Win10 settings menu shortcut) a shortcut is added with the name 'Desktop' which produces an error message when clicked, "Unable to find: immersive control panel".  The shortcut name 'Desktop' is bogus and others hav seen different (random) names as the shortcut name.  Clearly the name should be 'Settings' and it should open the Windows 10 settings menu.

This seems to be a problem with Start10 as the software refers to shortcut files rather than going direct into the system to do these things.  If the shortcut the program relies on gets deleted the program falls over.  Just hope Start10 doesn't rely on dubious links like this for its major operations.

As mentioned in another thread it should switch to a fallback when the original is missing (and it links to the original for good reasons).  For some reason this is not working in 1.07 and we are investigating why.
