User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:86.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/86.0

Steps to reproduce:

when update is initiated, and installed, the update breaks the pinned location and makes it non functional. Also on some systems the update(s) revert back to the default automatically update tab. there is no tab showing explicit do not install or check for updates.

Actual results:

when the pinned location on the task bar is set, the link breaks and the program must be re-pinned back to the task bar. This has happened with every single patch that has been released. If there is no short-cut on the desktop the user must always go look for the original install folder which is not always on the local drive and create a new short cut and re-pin the location so it works again. Also the check boxes revert to the default selection of automatic downloads not manual.

Expected results:

when the file is installed the pinned location should of been updated as well not go searching for it with every single update. the tabs should have been left in the original selection box and having to go change it again and again

I'm really, really sorry that this bug has sat idle for so long. I've been looking through some old bugs, and I discovered that there are some flaws in our triage system that have allowed some bugs to slip through the cracks. It appears that this is one of them.

Are you still experiencing this problem?
