Windows 10: I see two PowerRename items when I right-click a shortcut on the desktop

After installing PowerToys from Microsoft Github, it comes with PowerRename, so when I right-click a shortcut on the desktop, I get two PowerRename items. Disabling and re-enabling it through PowerToys does not solve the problem. If I right-click a file in File Explorer, I only see one PowerRename item.

Desktop Shortcut Icons

Hi Mik-Dav,

The desktop shortcut created for a specific website should bear the website's actual logo. With what you've experienced, there could be something wrong with how the shortcut was created.

If you've created the shortcut by selecting Create shortcut, then we suggest that you try the other way, that is by dragging the website icon that appears in the address bar to your desktop. Follow these steps:

• Using Internet Explorer, access a website.
• Once the website opens, you will see its icon in the address bar.
• Click and drag the icon on your desktop.

The website shortcut bearing its actual logo should now be saved on your desktop.

Let us know if you need further help.

Regards.
