create no desktop icon on Windowsx #1207

Issue

Maybe a minor issue but: Installation on Windows is absolutely non-standard. Not that bad but as no options for the installation can be defined a big fat icon ends up on the desktop. There are a few apps that do this (mostly big players like Adobe) and I always think of this as desktop icon spam.

So maybe add an option on install or simply do not create a desktop icon. Start menu item is sufficient.

I second this. Even an update of Hyper re-instates this annoying desktop icon. That's another manual step to do (delete the icon). Honeslty, together with the abysmal startup time of hyper, if that happens one more time, I will uninstall hyper, as this makes the annoyances bigger than what hyper promises to be.
