@mrclary, is this ready for review?

[mrclary]

Yep, ready for review

[ccordoba12]

A few suggestions for you @mrclary.

[ccordoba12]

@mrclary, the failures in our tests are due to a new version of intervaltree, which came with a broken wheel.

I already reported the problem upstream.

Interesting. Is our caching paradigm not working properly? The intervaltree version shouldn't change except when we rebuild caches on the weekend. For the rest of the week, all workflows should be using the cache.

[mrclary]

I see. The new intervaltree version is introduced in the "Install additional dependencies" step. This is not cached.

@dalthviz, please review again and approve @mrclary's work if ready.

I'll fix the failure in our tests in another PR.

[dalthviz]

Thanks @mrclary !

[ccordoba12]

I fixed the failure in our tests in PR #25506, so merging.

@meeseeksdev please backport to 6.x

Hello All,
I applied this PR with a manual patch but issue unfortunately remained. After a lot of back-and-forth with ChatGPT, I was able to isolate the cause and get a working fix on my end. My solution is summarized at #24292

Setup (for reference):
Windows 11 Pro
Spyder 6.1.1 Standalone installer (“All users”)
Installed under C:\ProgramData\spyder-6\...

I don’t know how the final packaging/shortcuts will look in 6.1.3. However, if the shipped Start Menu shortcut AppID is still suffix’d (e.g., ...Spyder-6.spyder-runtime) while Spyder sets a non-suffix’d AppID (e.g., ...Spyder-6), it may still trigger the two-icon behavior. So it’s worth double-checking, and the 6.1.3 solution may need a similar “match whatever AppID the installer shortcut uses” adjustment if those two strings don’t align.
