This behavior is also known to break shortcuts.
- My RobloxStudio taskbar shortcut breaks after updates
- Updating Studio/Client to a newer version breaks shortcuts pinned to start menu
This behavior also creates hundreds of dead firewall rules for old Roblox Studio versions. Not sure if there’s a thread about this one.
In fact, I have a terrible hack I use to keep Studio pinned to my start menu. I use a proxy shortcut that chains a cmd window and opening another shortcut that Studio creates and updates automatically every time it updates. This allows me to pin the proxy shortcut, change its icon, and keep Studio pinned.
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c start "" "C:\Users\qqtt9\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Roblox\Roblox Studio.lnk"
Behavior I would prefer is the current Studio version being installed to a folder called “Current” and all other versions being named the version name. Then every time Studio updates it will rename Current to the version name, then install the version to a new Current folder, which should(?) preserve old paths and hence old shortcuts and rules.
