  • cfsen AppxManifest.xml seams OK. "VisualGroup does not work on Win10. Try install .msix on Server 2022 or Win 11. I think you wil see the difference.

    Have now tested once more. Either the MSIX package must contain 2 or more shortcuts to the same start menu folder or 2 msix packages with shortcuts to the same folder must be installed.

    Peer-Atle Thanks for the info.  I need to support Win10 though.  Do you know of a way to accomplish this on Win10?

      I don't know how to fix this in Win10. Maybe a new Win10 build will enable this feature.
