WebAppInstallForceList not adding shortcuts to the desktop
I'm trying to test deploying a PWA using the WebAppInstallForceList policy on Edge 88 with the following: [{ "create_desktop_shortcut": true, "default_launch_container": "window", "url": "https:...
In our testing, after the policy is installed, the user must open Edge for the shortcut to be added to the desktop. Is this the intended behavior? It's an issue for us, as many of our users don't use Edge as their default browser and wouldn't normally open it, in which case they would have no idea the PWA existed. We played around with adding a script to the GPO that would open and close Edge but this is unexpected for the user and in our testing Edge had to be opened for up to 10 seconds before the shortcut appeared.

TriangleSolDev Hello! Yes, that is the expected behavior. The browser needs to run at least once after a change to the WebAppInstallForceList to either install or remove the apps in that list.
