Windows 10: Why would Windows 10 / VS 2019 DELETE a startup shortcut?

I just updated VS 2019 to Version 16.10.0, and for some reason, it and/or Windows 10 decided to DELETE one of my startup shortcuts.I had the shortcut placed in C:\Users\my user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and after updating VS 2019, which included a bunch of updated core files and required a reboot, the shortcut was no longer working upon startup. After investigating, it just wasn't in the startup folder any more. I recreated it and rebooted, and it's working again.But why would it delete it? I had another similar shortcut in there and it didn't bother
