App Vol 4.6 not saving desktop shortcuts or startmenu shortcuts

As the title states, when creating an app volume for a new application, the shortcuts do not save. The applications are in the C drive and run with the executable but that is not practical to have all the users do when trying to open these applications. The shortcuts are there and work prior to saving the application but once I assign it to myself to test, no shortcuts. I have tried updating the package and repairing/reinstalling and saving the shortcuts and executables to the default and public user accounts in the C drive. Any help from the community would be helpful.

As far as I remember, this is caused by a bug in App Volumes 4.6 that prevents the saving of desktop and Start menu shortcuts. this has  been fixed in App Volumes 4.7.

Following back up on this. We updated to 4.11 and the shortcuts and start menu shortcuts seem to be saving now. Thank you for the help!
