MSIX product name issue

Hello,

Please advise when creating Msix packages, how can I set different product names to be shown in the:

Start Menu > Applications < My Product >

vs

Settings > Apps < My Product Pro >

Generally, in which fields these 2 names are set?

Thanks for the info, highly appreciated :)

MSIX

    This is generally controlled by the VisualItems element of the AppXManifest associated with the Application element.  It also may be controlled by adding the desktop7:Shortcut extension under the Application Extensions, if this is a desktop (aka MSIX) app, which offers more options.
