BUG: lnk files appear instead of app.

See original GitHub issue

Checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

Problem Description

lnk file appear instead the app of League of Legends. Maybe it’s Everything plugin what is causing this search, but this doesn’t happen when I search for other programs. I’m sharing SS’s.

Also, just checked the log files and having a lot of WARN and ERROR (Errors involving WindowsApps not showing when i search for them with FL). Anyways, I couldn’t find anything related to League of Legends client. I’m attaching the log files.

strange it should be indexing that start menu location, did you happen to do a reload of plugin data or was index start menu not ticked?
