### UniGetUI Version

2026.2.6

### Windows version, edition, and architecture

Windows 11 Pro 26200.8894 x64

### Describe your issue

The desktop shortcut removal dialog no longer opens automatically after installing or updating a package.

The shortcut detection itself still appears to work:

* Desktop shortcuts that I previously marked for automatic deletion are still deleted correctly.
* Newly detected shortcuts appear in the desktop shortcut management dialog.
* However, UniGetUI no longer opens that dialog automatically after the installation or update has finished.

To review newly created shortcuts, I have to manually open:

**Settings → Operations → Manage desktop shortcuts**

In previous versions, UniGetUI automatically displayed a dialog after an installation or update, allowing me to choose which newly created desktop shortcuts should be deleted.

This seems to be a regression in the newer Avalonia-based interface.

### Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Enable the option to detect and remove newly created desktop shortcuts.
2. Make sure that automatic deletion of all unknown shortcuts is disabled, so UniGetUI should ask before deleting a new shortcut.
3. Install or update a package that creates a new desktop shortcut.
4. Wait for the installation or update to finish.
5. Observe that no desktop shortcut selection dialog is opened.
6. Open the desktop shortcut management dialog manually through the settings.
7. Observe that the newly created shortcut is listed there and can be selected for deletion.

### Relevant information

### 1. New shortcuts are still detected after installations and updates

After a successful installation, UniGetUI calls `DesktopShortcutsDatabase.HandleNewShortcuts(...)`:

```csharp
if (Settings.Get(Settings.K.AskToDeleteNewDesktopShortcuts))
{
    DesktopShortcutsDatabase.HandleNewShortcuts(DesktopShortcutsBeforeStart);
}
```

The same logic is also executed after a successful package update.

Source:

[`PackageOperations.cs`](https://github.com/Devolutions/UniGetUI/blob/f113f5a2406de10237d5171f050eef9f82be87fe/src/UniGetUI.PackageEngine.Operations/PackageOperations.cs)

### 2. Known shortcuts are deleted, while unknown shortcuts are queued for a user decision

`HandleNewShortcuts(...)` checks the stored status of each shortcut.

Shortcuts that were previously approved for deletion are deleted immediately:

```csharp
else if (status is Status.Delete)
{
    DeleteFromDisk(shortcut);
}
```

New shortcuts whose status is still unknown are added to an internal list:

```csharp
else
{
    // Mark the shortcut as unknown and prompt the user.
    if (!UnknownShortcuts.Contains(shortcut))
    {
        Logger.Info($"Marking the shortcut {shortcut} to be asked to be deleted");
        UnknownShortcuts.Add(shortcut);
    }
}
```

This matches the observed behavior: previously selected shortcuts continue to be removed, while new shortcuts remain available in the management dialog.

Source:

[`DesktopShortcutsDatabase.cs`](https://github.com/Devolutions/UniGetUI/blob/f113f5a2406de10237d5171f050eef9f82be87fe/src/UniGetUI.PackageEngine.PackageManagerClasses/Packages/Classes/DesktopShortcutsDatabase.cs)

### 3. The Avalonia interface only displays a notification

After package operations have finished, the Avalonia operation registry checks for unknown shortcuts:

```csharp
var unknownShortcuts = DesktopShortcutsDatabase.GetUnknownShortcuts();

if (unknownShortcuts.Count > 0)
{
    WindowsAppNotificationBridge.ShowNewShortcutsNotification(unknownShortcuts);
}
```

However, this code only requests a notification. It does not open the desktop shortcut management dialog.

Source:

[`AvaloniaOperationRegistry.cs`](https://github.com/Devolutions/UniGetUI/blob/f113f5a2406de10237d5171f050eef9f82be87fe/src/UniGetUI.Avalonia/Infrastructure/AvaloniaOperationRegistry.cs)

### 4. The notification does not open the shortcut management dialog

The shortcut notification currently uses the generic `NotificationArguments.Show` action:

```csharp
Show(title, message, MainWindow.RuntimeNotificationLevel.Success, launchAction: NotificationArguments.Show);
```

This only opens or focuses UniGetUI. It does not navigate to or open `ManageDesktopShortcutsWindow`.

The comments in the same file also state that the inline action buttons used by the previous notification implementation were intentionally removed:

```csharp
// The inline action buttons carried by the old WinRT toasts
// are intentionally dropped
```

Source:

[`WindowsAppNotificationBridge.cs`](https://github.com/Devolutions/UniGetUI/blob/f113f5a2406de10237d5171f050eef9f82be87fe/src/UniGetUI.Avalonia/Infrastructure/WindowsAppNotificationBridge.cs)

### 5. The previous WinUI implementation opened the dialog directly

The previous implementation explicitly opened the desktop shortcut dialog after detecting new shortcuts:

```csharp
await Window.ShowDialogAsync(ShortcutsDialog);
```

Source:

[`Add notifications when a new desktop shortcut is detected`](https://github.com/Devolutions/UniGetUI/commit/1b8624c9817badda0a554453a96ee1832e6ce280)
