    After installing the requested update for Parallels Toolbox for Windows, half of my desktop shortcuts are missing.
    I can revert to the previous Snapshot (thank goodness for that) but if I do the Update again the same thing happens.
    I have no idea why or what in this regard.

    See 461066152. It's like it creates a new Windows in the Control Center w/o copying all the attributes of the former.
    After Update: Screenshot of desktop. Half the icons.
    Sorry (Screenshot won't Paste due to "Too Large" error.)
    After Update: Downloads folder empty. Should have loads of files.

    Seems the problem is after the Toolbox Update and reboot the desktop and ThisPC (Windows Explorer) point to the wrong location. I will point to a root of (Onedrive>Bz Personal>Documents) C:\Users\bz_bz_\OneDrive\Documents instead of (Mac>Home>Documents) \\Mac\Home\Documents.
    Weirdly there are no files in C:\Users\bz_bz_\Documents but my actual files are in \\Mac\Home\Documents.
    I don't really know how to fix and also would appreciate any help in this regard.
    Thanks.
