In Windows 10, with INNO setup, I have PrivilegesRequired=lowest and AlwaysUsePersonalGroup=yes, but do not get any Start Menu icons. Is this correct behavior? I there a way around it?

Sorry. My mistake. I must have been looking in the wrong place. The start menu items actually do get created in C:\Users\standarduser\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MyProgram. And they were created there with or without AlwaysUsePersonalGroup=yes. Maybe there was a slight time delay before the icon group actually appeared in the Start button menu, or maybe I just did not see it.

Later found that with PrivilegesRequired=lowest, using right-click/Run-as-administrator while in a standard user account resulted in the start menu items getting created in the account of the admin user, and are not accessible to the standard user. Darn.
