    I am noticing that 2X applications are showing up automatically as if it were an installed normal app on the computer when using the start button to search for an application in Windows 11. This presents an issue with confusing results resulting in the user running the wrong application should they be named the same.
    This is definitely unwanted by us. 2X apps should only be visible either in the 2x application or from a specifically created shortcut.
    I don't see any way to change this behavior?

    Hi, this is indeed because the RAS published resources shortcuts are added to the start folder which is the default behavior. To change please open the RAS Console > Publishing > [for each published resource or group] > Shortcuts > Uncheck "Create shortcut in Start Folder". Alternatively you can configure this for the entire site by going to the site defaults as per documentation https://download.parallels.com/ras/v19/docs/en_US/Parallels-RAS-19-Administrators-Guide/45194.htm
