Cli: Unwanted "SnoreToast" shortcut added to the Windows Start Menu

Bug

What is the current behavior?

A shortcut named "SnoreToast" is added to the Windows Start Menu after the Heroku CLI installed. It has target:
C:\Users\Ed\AppData\Local\heroku\client\7.7.7\node_modules\node-notifier\vendor\snoreToast\SnoreToast.exe

Running the shortcut results in a command line tool window appearing briefly then disappearing before it can be used/read.

Using Windows 10, heroku CLI 7.7.8.

What is the expected behavior?

• Ideally no shortcut items added to the start menu that are from internal implementation details of the Heroku CLI such as node-notifier
• If the Heroku CLI does want to provide a way to adjust notification settings, then the shortcut should (a) result in a window that stays open/is usable, (b) have a clearer name

Many thanks :-)

Hey @edmorley! Hmm, just installed on a fresh VM and didn't get SnoreToast in the start menu. I'll keep messing with it more.

I uninstalled then reinstalled and didn't get the shortcut this time. I was presuming this was due to in-semver range dep changes, but I can't find any change in node-notifier that would account for this. Nor are there any relevant changes in the Heroku postgres addon in this monorepo (nor in the separate repo that it used to live in) either.

Doesn't seem worth investigating this further - thank you for attempting to reproduce anyway :-)

I run heroku update and that added the shortcut to my start menu.
