New submission from Terry J. Reedy: I just installed 2.7.11rc1 on Win 10 and noticed that 'Python 2.7' is missing both from Start - All apps and from search bar results for 'python' (only 3.4 and 3.5 appear in local search results). To be sure, I uninstalled, installed fresh, and even restarted. Same result. 2.7.11 is present on disk and py.exe finds and starts it, but it is not fully installed as an app, and the associated icons are not available.
I was able to work around this and make an 'IDLE icon' from a pythonw.exe shortcut, but if this problem is general to at least Win 10, there will be a lot of confused users. ---------- components: Installation, Windows messages: 255881 nosy: benjamin.peterson, paul.moore, steve.dower, terry.reedy, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: release blocker severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: 2.7.11rc1 not added to Win10 app list (start menu) type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25799> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
