Best,
I can no longer create new shortcuts in Windows 11.
After creating a quick link when I want to open it I get the message,
This file does not have an app associated with it that can perform this action.
install an app or, if already installed, a link to the default app settings page is required
I had installed a program to install it, but after that I only had the option to quickly mount it.
with that logo
I deleted everything and now I can no longer create a quick link
the old shortcuts still work

What are the shortcuts for? If a program just locate the .exe file in C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) [32-bit programs] and right-click, choose Send to desktop, create shortcut. If for a Web page/site I click the lock icon at the left end of the URL/Address bar and drag to the Desktop, later Pin to Taskbar or Pin to Start.
