hi, @alekhyareddy28 is this covered in #3180 ? if so, I'll close as duplicate

[alekhyareddy28]

@saahmedm , no it is not. I think we should leave this open.

[fquinner]

What is the criteria that decides whether or not the .lnk extension is displayed? The .lnk files do launch but the extension makes it look like "something you open" rather than "something you launch".

@Z1ni does this still happen with 0.19.2?

[crutkas]

@fquinner the result here was from search, not the program indexer, we should be better about this at this point with 0.19.x

[Z1ni]

@crutkas On the same machine, yes. On my work machine that also has 0.19.2, Docker Desktop happily appears in the listing.
I cleared Run's app data, but it didn't change the situation. The start menu finds Docker without a problem.

[Z1ni]

I just installed Docker and PowerToys to my another machine and it doesn't work there either.

[crutkas]

This is on 0.19.2. I installed and deleted my cache (0.20 should prevent me from needing to do that)

[crutkas]

@alekhyareddy28 i can't reproduce this, any ideas?

[alekhyareddy28]

I can't think of anything off the top of my mind. @Z1ni can you please clarify if docker was installed before or after PowerToys?
Can you try a couple of things to help us debug -

1. Clear this folder (C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run) and disable and then enable powerToys run from the settings page. I understand that you had deleted it before but I want to ensure that Run was restarted after doing so.
2. Once you do the above, if you're still facing the issue can you please share the log files. They might contain some information about why only Docker desktop is not showing up. The log files are located at - C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Logs\1.0.0.
   Thank you!

@alekhyareddy28 All of the three computers that I've tried had Docker installed before PowerToys.
I went through the steps you listed with both of the machines that don't list Docker, and clearing and re-enabling Run did nothing.
Here are the log files for both. The laptop runs Win10 19042.330 and the desktop runs 18363.959.

hi @Z1ni, can you confirm this is still happening in the latest (0.20.1), thank you for the help!

and let us know if you receive a drive detection warning in Run

[Z1ni]

Yes, it's still happening with the same two PCs.

Both showed the drive detection warning, and because of that I checked the install location of Docker, which is in Program Files, which is indexed.

[crutkas]

this shouldn't be based on indexing but the program plugin.

@crutkas I am able to repro this issue. While installing docker, uncheck Add shortcut to desktop on Configuration screen. This would install an lnk at location "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu", which is currently not in the list of watched folder. I will put a fix for this.

[crutkas]

In the 0.25 release. https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/tag/v0.25.0

[Z1ni]

Confirmed to be working 👍
