Hello, when I install programs (Google Earth, VLC, antivirus...), I sometimes check the box to create a shortcut on the desktop.
But during updates of these programs, the shortcuts for these programs automatically reappear on my desktop. So I keep putting these shortcuts in the recycle bin. Sometimes I even see some shortcuts on the desktop that I deleted the day before!
Do you have a solution for this problem?
Thank you in advance.

It seems to me that there is nothing unusual. If you install an update from a setup.exe or any other application, the icon will be created on the desktop. You shouldn't be installing multiple programs a day, right?
To be on the safe side, run an antivirus detection:
Perform a virus/malware scan with the free version of Malwarebytes

Is there a way to prevent the creation of a shortcut on the desktop when there is an update of a software?
