Description
Please implement this to improve the bad User Experience caused by this issue that is ongoing for years.

Changing the discord.exe path after each updates breaks the Windows system tray pinned item functionality which causes it to get unpinned everytime.

Please stop changing the directory path with each update.

For example this path
C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Discord\app-1.0.9182\discord.exe

Should be always
C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Discord\app-current\discord.exe

  3. the steps
  4. to recreate
