DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2

DB2 shortcuts like DB2 Command Window may not appear post 
installation if the Microsoft security patch KB3126593 
(https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/kb/3126593) has been 
applied. 
 
If there are multiple DB2 copies on the system, installing a new 
DB2 copy and making the new one the default copy will also cause 
the shortcuts from the previously installed DB2 default copy to 
disappear.
