"Interesting" behavior when showing the first notification after creating a shortcut #105

Hi everyone. I have an issue when using this library and the console application example. The virtual machine environment on which I ran the application is Windows 11 x64. The application was built using Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 and the latest version of the library. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/818466d9-224f-461f-a95c-50d3e7f53614

You can watch a video recording of the demonstration. To describe an interesting behavior, when the first notification is displayed when the application is launched, the notification is displayed without the application icon and/or application name. It is quite certain that this is somehow related to the creation of a shortcut. Perhaps someone can help with this problem or has encountered it before and knows how to solve it? Perhaps this is the default behavior for Windows 11, does anyone know? I would be grateful for your time and any advice in this regard.

If I create a portable app, and I put the "App User Model Id" of a system app, the first notification has the title and icon of the system app. The second notification has the title and icon of my application. Is the startup shortcut already created when you launch your application? Which entry does your "App User Model Id" refer to?

EDIT: Sorry, I just reread your message. You say that the shortcut is created on the fly. It would be better if your installer created the shortcut beforehand.
