Moving shortcut to another folder drops icon
This is my first week with Windows 10 and I'm just starting to install my software. Usually I move the desktop shortcut created from software installation to a custom folder where I keep all my shortcuts organized by category. In Windows 10, if I move the shortcut from the desktop to another folder, the shortcut drops the software's custom icon. Then I have to select file properties for the shortcut, select "change icon", select the program's custom icon (which is shown underneath), click OK, then apply, continue, then ok. Then I have to do it all a second time! Then the icon is applied and visible for the shortcut. It doesn't work until I do this twice for each shortcut icon I move.
Why does this happen? I never had to deal with this in Windows 7. I could just move the shortcut and the icon carries over. This is a lot of extra work. Is there some way of eliminating this hassle?
