Doesn't work after compiling

[farag2]

@airwolf2026, thanks for your app, but after compiling, it doesn't work (neither pins to the Start menu, nor to the taskbar).
I recorded a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMcU2svZt84
Please tell, what am I doing wrong?

Maybe new win10 updates something？
Or you call this app from nsis installer? this know issues.

@airwolf2026, thanks for your reply, but as you can see from the video I call it from PS. May be you can upload your compiled build?
And it doesn't work on current, 1909 build.

Followed same steps in the video, launched via command prompt. Didn't work, explore was refreshed but nothing was pinned.

@farag2 I have seen you commenting on a couple taskbar pinning projects. Were you looking for code that will properly pin to the taskbar on windows 1909+? Did you ever find something that works?

[farag2]

@soloxcx, yes, I've succeeded!

But this method isn't general. You have to adapt it for shortcuts you want to be pinned. But it works, anyway. In my script I pin the Control Panel, old-style Devices and Printers, and PowerShell shortcuts. The same way you can pin shortcuts to the taskbar, but the method is even more complicated.
