Option to prevent Articulate 360 updates from recreating desktop shortcut?
I think that shortcut is annoying, too.
FYI: You can submit a formal feature request. (That doesn't ensure it will be implemented, but it does ensure they've seen the request.)
Hi JudyNollet,
Thanks for jumping in, and for pointing @DebojyotiDas to the feature request form! I understand that the shortcut reappearing after updates has been an annoyance for you, too.
A couple of details from your side would help us capture your experience clearly:
- What do you do today when the shortcut shows up again after an update?
- What would you like to see happen instead when Articulate 360 updates?
That context helps us see how this plays out for you as you work in Articulate 360 AI.

Hi LucianaPiazza what I do today is I have to reach out to our corporate help desk, who delete the shortcut with their admin rights. For some reason the application does not create the shortcut in my local desktop, meaning I cannot delete it without elevated privileges.What would you like to see happen instead when Articulate 360 updates?
I have seen many application have a preference button - do not create desktop shortcut. Articulate does not have that during the install or update flow - that would be great. Or simply check if there is a desktop shortcut and if not, keep it that way or prompt the user at the end of the update or installation do you want a desktop shortcut etc.
