Installation of 3.3.18.0 AutoIt V3 on Windows 11 needs a reboot to have application shortcuts show up on Start menu...

Hello...

I have done a number of fresh installs of 3.3.18.0 on various Windows 11 devices and one thing that puzzles/frustrates me is regard to having the AutoIt application shortcuts NOT showing up off the Windows Start button when the installation completes! 

There is nothing in the various installation windows mentioning anything about what level of user access there should be for the shortcuts and NO mention of needing a reboot to have the shortcuts show up.

What I have found is that on Windows 11 devices, that are fully patched to available kits as of 7/9/2026, it takes a device reboot for the shortcuts to show up off the Windows Start button!

If that is the current requirement for the installation, then the last page of the installation kit should have a 'Reboot' button in addition to the Finish button that is already there.

My thanks for your time and consideration of this.
