Antivirus deletes all shortcuts from the desktop

After this morning's update of security intelligence to version 1.381.2140.0, defender is deleting on all clients all links to applications; does anyone have the same problem?

This is a great starting point yongrheemsft. Thanks. I thought that maybe there was a cached version of the Start Menu somewhere, but I guess not.
