When a new studio update releases, the Windows shortcut is no longer valid

When a new studio update downloads, the windows taskbar/desktop shortcut breaks, and cannot find a valid path. This has happened for months now. Currently, after every studio update, I have to delete the shortcut, and replace it in my Taskbar. I do this by going to the search bar, and search for the studio app, and re-pin.

I am currently running Windows 11 (24H2).

Expected behavior

I would expect the shortcut to still function after each update.

Same here, but it’s been happening for ages. But it changed recently.

It previously said “The shortcut ‘RobloxPlayerBeta.exe’ has been moved or changed so it no longer works. Do you want to delete this shortcut?” as a Windows prompt box.

But, now it errors:
“The code execution cannot proceed because ‘RobloxPlayerBeta.dll’ could not be located. Reinstalling the program may fix this issue”.

(And re-adding the shortcut only sometimes works).

This bug isn’t filed in the new tracking system, as seen by the lack of an “Open” status at the top of the report, so this newer one shouldn’t be closed for this reason
