<![CDATA[Shortcut on Desktop- Windows 10]]>I am on Opera 54.0..2952.71 version.
When one updates Opera it does not automatically offer an option to create a Desktop Shortcut.
One has to use Explorer and manually create one.
With this latest version I have had to do this several times as the Shortcut keeps disappearing from my Desktop and I have to manually recreate it only a day or so later to find the Shortcut has once again disappeared.. Any ideas as to fixing this?
It would be best if during programme update the option to create a Desktop Option was shown,

The path to opera.exe changes with every update. Or, do as @sgunhouse said and download and run the installer to install over your existing install and choose the option for the desktop icon this time.

Is that how you're doing it or are you creating a shortcut to opera.exe instead?
