Very conveniently, we can see that it does log out lots of useful information at various stages in the process. Next, though the docs only call out desktop and start menu shortcuts, the source code of version 1.4.2 shows that it should also attempt to update pinned shortcuts. This process likely explains why the path originally referenced by my shortcut pointed to a directory that no longer exists. Previous Version Clean-up – on the next startup of MyApp, all but the current and immediately previous versions of your app are deleted as part of clean-up (e.g., after updating to app-1.0.5, app-1.0.4 remains, but app-1.0.3 and earlier are deleted – see issue #589).įirst, let’s note that Squirrel cleans up the old version of the application (leaving only a couple on the system for rollback).Update Shortcuts – desktop and Windows Start Menu shortcuts are updated to point to the new MyApp version (via the –processStart command line parameter passed to Update.exe).Looking at the documented Squirrel update process, the final two steps are: This version of Squirrel was used to build the installer (which is a bit old). ![]() If we check the version of the Update.exe referenced by the shortcut, we can see that it has a file version 1.4.2.0.

There are several ways to pin an app to the taskbar, but one of the simplest is to right-click on the icon of a running application and select Pin to taskbar. The reason this happens is a bit complicated, but I like to understand what is happening under the covers. The outlined steps above demonstrate how to diagnose and solve problems of this nature. Though the following information may be helpful for learning, things often change with time. So Why Did the GitKraken Taskbar Icon Disappear?įirst, it is worth noting that I wrote this blog on March 12th, 2021, using GitKraken Client version 8.3.2. Your icon is updated, and you should not run into this issue again. ![]() I recommend setting it to “%LOCALAPPDATA%\gitkraken” (without the quotes)-Click Apply and OK on the Properties Window to close it. ![]()
