The application's Desktop shortcut changes properties

We have a desktop application which we launch by the application shortcut present on desktop. Since we have upgraded from 12.50 to 12.60, the properties of the desktop shorcut object keeps changing intermittently.

For eg :

earlier the properties used to be -

 

Sys.Process("explorer").ToolWindow("Program Manager").Window("SHELLDLL_DefView", "", 1).Window("SysListView32", "FolderView", 1).ListItem("Daniel MeterLink")

 

 

The properties keep changing to -

Sys.Process("explorer").Window("WorkerW", "", 11).Window("SHELLDLL_DefView", "", 1).Window("SysListView32", "FolderView", 1).ListItem("Daniel MeterLink")

 

Can anyone explain me the reason behind this.

    Not sure why the properties are changing, but it would be better practice to launch the application directly through TestedApps as opposed to using the shortcut. Using the shortcut is not a reliable method, as you can see.
