Windows: Editing a URL shortcut file does not go to new link until a reboot is performed

I have still not found the answer to this. When we edit a FILE.url shortcut and change the URL, it does not go to the new URL until a reboot is performed on windows 10. Seems to be caching the shortcut and destination instead of re-fetching it from file each time.



Does anyone know a way I can edit this to auto update ?



Update: Editing the file by right clicking on it and selecting properties, then changing URL works properly. However editing the file via notepad does not work. I am running a script to modify this automatically so I prefer a proper fix via notepad.

Самой крупной консисторией были Консистория от 17 декабря 1456 года, на которой было возведено шесть кардиналов. Папа Каллист III хотел назвать отца Жан Сорета, O.Carm., епископом или кардиналом, но он отказался, потому что хотел посвятить себя своему ордену и продвижению религиозного рвения и соблюдения устава монашеского ордена.

Il ragionamento deduttivo umano assimilato a un meccanismo Il metodo deduttivo o deduzione è il procedimento razionale che fa derivare una certa conclusione da premesse più generiche, dentro cui quella conclusione è implicita. Il termine significa letteralmente «condurre da», perché proviene dal latino "de" (traducibile con da , preposizione indicante provenienza, o moto di discesa dall'alto verso il basso) e "ducere" ( condurre ). Questo metodo parte da postulati e princìpi primi e, attraverso una serie di rigorose concatenazioni logiche, procede verso determinazioni più particolari attinenti alla realtà tangi
