Mac apps missing from C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Parallels

Since updating to Parallels 20, all of the macOS app exe files are no longer in AppData\Roaming\Parallels. Were they moved somewhere? If they're just removed in the update now, how would we run a macOS app from Windows and pass a command line argument?
 
I have the same problem. I have found, that Mac apps are now in C:\Users\"youraccountname"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Parallels Shared Applications but they are there as .lnk files, no more .exe files. And when you want to call Mac app from other Windows app it doesn't work anymore. Hope they fix it soon.
 
Same here. I found a partial workaround. I created a batch file that launches the .lnk
Start "" "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Parallels Shared Applications\APPNAME (Mac).lnk"
Then generated an .exe file with a bat-to-exe converter. However, if I pass an argument, it is ignored
Start "" "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Parallels Shared Applications\APPNAME (Mac).lnk" "/path/to/file"
The Mac app is opened, but it doesn't the given file.

That's great. Thank you. Fortunately, I don't have to call the app with "/path/to/file" argument. And it runs smoothly (after some problems with bat to exe convertion).
