Hello, I tried removing some outdated programs recently and ended up with a big issue. Honestly, I’m not sure what I did and was hoping for some advice. My system uses a mix of SSD and HDD, and every app on my HDD causes errors when I try to launch it via shortcut. The messages say the shortcut is outdated or missing, and the icons look like empty paper. Since most of my games are Steam titles, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Steam, but that didn’t fix the problem. Now Steam doesn’t recognize them at all. Interestingly, when I check my HDD in a file manager, the games show up and I can play them without opening Steam. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I wasn't aware of this feature, so I didn't configure it. It seems to be turned off by default.

Verify the shortcuts and match them with the game's path. It seems you might have shifted a folder by mistake.
