Antivirus deletes all shortcuts from the desktop

After this morning's update of security intelligence to version 1.381.2140.0, defender is deleting on all clients all links to applications; does anyone have the same problem?

Once the ASR Rules is set to Audit Only, how do we restore all lnk shortcuts that the system removed? This is something that needs to be addresses as well. Sohel68
