[BUG] using desktop:7 shortcut extension, on latest build windows 10 (19045) #645

I'd like to use an msix package that depends on the desktop shortcut extension, allegedly according to msdn it requires a windows 10 with 19645 build. The problem that I have the windows 10 version I have is 19045, and according to release history 19045 is the latest version. Even on the beta and release preview channel it states the last released version was 19045.4842 (article published August 2024).

I don't see how this extension shouldn't be available on windows 10 (it's just a shortcut, which have been around since windows xp) so I think given that there doesn't appear to be '19645 ' build, that the extension was meant to reference 19045 build. Presently, because the minimum requirements aren't met, the msix I have created refuses to install quoting an error in the application manifest.

I've an windows 11 installation where everything works fine, on both operating systems it has the same version of appinstaller, but what I can make out of it, is that msix is purely prevented from being installed due schema's validation against the windows version..

also just fyi pretty much all the schemas references in the appx manifest i.e. schemas.microsoft.com, none of them are showing the xsd contents, so it's hard to validate my suspicions.
