Which installer are you using? How are you trying to run nvm? The official installer doesn't create shortcuts, so I'm not sure how a shortcut was created in the first place.

I download this installer setup.exe ,
could it be because i'm trying to install it into my work computer , admin access was needed to install it but it is installed in the admin profile , the shortcut could be as a result of my trying to access it from my profile,

@coreybutler After weeks of trying to make it work i found a way around ,
I was given a computer at work which asks for admin passwords each time i need to install it ,
Basically they're two profiles - "C:\Users\Admin" and "C:\Users\me" ,

This was the pathway that worked for me

• Installing nvm on pc with compulsory admin restrictions,
• download .exe from repo
• install in Path "C:\Users<user>\AppData\Roaming\nvm" (require admin password to launch installation)
• set this as symlink "C:\Users<user>\Roaming\nvm\nodejs"
• update user environment variables NVM_HOME , NVM_SYMLINK
• add env variables to path
• restart terminal , test with nvm --version (should display nvm version if previous steps are successful)
• install different node version with nvm install
• turn nvm on with nvm on (require admin password)
• switch node version with nvm use (require admin password)
  Everything should work fine from here , but note each time the node version will need to be changed the admin must be avaibale
