Shortcuts are not deleted after reboot without normal shutdown

We create shotcuts in the startmenu with VM UEM, with the following options:  "skip if shortcut already exists"  and  "Undo at logoff".

I noticed that if a pc is shutdown without normal logoff (power out etc) the shortcuts that remaine, (which is normal, because flexengine hasn't run)  are not removed in the next (normal) logoff .

I looks like only shortcuts created in one logon logoff  cycle are removed. Is that normal behaviour?

when we update a shortcut, with for instance an new executable, it is never distibuted if the old shortcut still resited op de PC.

Is it a better option no to select  "skip if shortcut already exists" so that the shortcut is  Always recreated?

Or should I run a logon script that first clears out all of the shortcuts created by flexengine?
