Do Steam shortcuts show up on my Desktop by default when I start Windows 11?
I installed a game on Steam and asked it to make a desktop shortcut. It didn't do that automatically for me. I had to click refresh just to see the shortcut appear. Even after trying full control settings and changing inheritance rules, the shortcut still wasn't created. I even cleared the icon cache but nothing worked either. Every other shortcut I made works right away. But Steam shortcuts don't show up on their own. Why is this happening? Is there a fix for this? It's not like it used to be with Windows 10. This started when I reinstalled Windows 11 after putting in my new SSD. Steam already had its files on the old drive, but now they are on the new one. My computer specs include: Intel i5-13600k, 64GB RAM, a graphics card from MSI GeForce RTX 2060 VENTUS GP OC with 6GB of video memory, an MSI MAG B660 TOMAHAWK motherboard, and the operating system is Windows 11 Pro. I have three hard drives: two are Samsung 980 Pro 1TB, one is Crucial MX500 2TB, another is a fourth drive that you didn't mention in your list.

I've bought lots of games on Steam lately and each one made me click a new button to play it on my computer screen. Maybe my game folder isn't working right, or maybe I just need to try fixing the installation by clicking "remove" then "add back." Have you tried that?
