Visual Studio Setup Project - Application Pinned to Start Menu disappears on update

I have a .NET 6 C# application with a Setup Project created in Visual Studio.

I'm running into a weird issue where, when I deploy an update and users install the update via the MSI, if they had pinned the application to their Start Menu, after the update is done installing, the pinned application is no longer on the Start Menu.

If you pin it to the taskbar, it stays there just fine but for some reason the Start Menu is behaving differently.

The odd thing is, I can create a dummy project and match the settings to my actual project and it keeps the application pinned to the Start Menu so I'm not sure what could be causing the difference.

I also tried creating a new Setup Project from scratch for my actual application where the only things I did was added the Project Outputs and shortcuts to the File System but that still didn't work either.

Any tips or suggestions as to where to look would be appreciated.
