      ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
      Windows 11 25H2
      Temurin (25.0.0+36-LTS)

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Hi there,
      I'm using Jpackage with a command like this:

      jpackage -i target --type exe -...........
      --win-menu \
      --win-menu-group Entertainment \
      --win-shortcut \
      --win-shortcut-prompt \
      --win-dir-chooser \
      ...........


      It’s the default one generated by jpackage, with a small modification that adds a checkbox to launch the app after installation.

      As you can see, the --win-menu-group is set to "Entertainment",
      but on Windows 11 25H2, my app still appears under the "Other" category in the Start menu.


      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      use the jpackage command as described above

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      the installed app should be found the in the right category in the new windows start menu
      ACTUAL -
      the app is inside the "Others" category
