  1. 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

    :)

    Spoiler Office 2019
    Last year at Ignite, we announced Office 2019 – the next perpetual version of Office that includes apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and Skype for Business) and servers (including Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype for Business). Today we’re pleased to share the following updates:

    • Office 2019 will ship in H2 of 2018. Previews of the new apps and servers will start shipping in the second quarter of 2018.
    • Office 2019 apps will be supported on:
      • Any supported Windows 10 SAC release
      • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018
      • The next LTSC release of Windows Server
    • The Office 2019 client apps will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We will not provide MSI as a deployment methodology for Office 2019 clients. We will continue to provide MSI for Office Server products.
