In the past 2 or so months, I’ve had Preform uninstall/delete itself. I go to use the program and the task bar icon is the blank page icon and clicking on it gives you the whole ‘Shortcut refers to a program that has moved or deleted’. Not the end of the world, but a stupid and annoying problem. No other program does this. Anyone have this issue? ---

Yup. Twice, so far. Thanks for noting this! Windows 10, up to date. ---
