QGIS with GRASS Windows menu links are missing with OSGeo4W Installer

Description

The menu links with the OSGeo4W to launch QGIS with GRASS support are missing. This is applicable on a Windows 7 and a Windows 10 machine. I have even uninstalled everything and reinstalled the software. Both 3.14.0 and 3.10.7 are missing.

The stand alone installers work correctly.

Not reproducable - and the standalone is build from osgeo4w packages and the shortcuts are created with the same scripts. Did you install the qgis-grass-plugin7 or qgis-ltr-grass-plugin7 package?

Check the %OSGEO4W_ROOT%\var\log\setup.log and %OSGEO4W_ROOT%\var\log\setup.log.full for errors.

OK sorry about that. I don't ever remember having to select a grass plugin from the OSGeo4W installer in order to have grass. Shouldn't it come automatically when you choose to install QGIS? It comes with the standalone installer. Anyway it now works.

The grass plugin is optional. If you install qgis-full you'll get it too, but qgis doesn't include it. The standalone installs qgis-full.
