Windows feature upgrade moves all scoop shortcuts into Windows.old

[Luckz]

Every time there's a bi-yearly Windows upgrade (20H2 / 2009 most recently), both the shortcuts scoop created in the Start Menu as well as my own (Quick Launch or whatever) are moved to C:\Windows.old\....
I assume this is because whatever faulty logic MS uses to detect no longer valid shortcuts does not understand junctions (scoop's current)?

I have reported this to Microsoft a long time ago, but it's evidently not addressed.

Would using symbolic links instead of junctions help avoid this?

That's probably done because Windows does not allow SymLinks to be created without admin privileges. Would break Scoop's user-only installs without UAC objective.
