If you switched over to the new HoYoPlay launcher then you're saying good-bye to the old launchers that added their own start menu entries. This broke my muscle memory for opening HoYoverse games... but it's OK!
You can still keep this behavior though if you re-add'em manually by creating shortcuts that supply the proper CLI switches. To find out what those switches are, use the new launcher to create desktop shortcuts (see images).
You can then either move shortcuts those into your Start Menu Programs folder or re-create them yourself; whatever's easier for you.
I'm personally of the view that #HonkaiStarRail's 2.2 quest was one fo the strongest from a story perspective and one of the weaker ones from a game storytelling perspective.
Turn that plot into a movie or a light novel and I'm all in, but they tried to do a lot of things and I don't think they all worked together particularly well mechanically.
Gloatingly cackling “素晴らしい!”* at my screen as my #HonkaiStarRail characters** earn the game's epilepsy warning many times over in the space of a few seconds.
subarashii = "wonderful" = at least if you're an anime villain

Okay I know it is trite to complain about the loss of media literacy but holy frak.
Some of y'all need words like "problematic" taken away from you until you learn to engage critically with the material you are reading.
There's a world of difference between met-gala-style "we're not reading the room" and "this character is at best morally ambiguous as a deliberate choice in portrayal."
Colleague went to Sprinkles and chanced on an unofficial Genshin pop up at a tea place that gave away cupsleeve. I'm grateful. #genshinimpact#HonkaiStarRail
Ugh! I want Robin because she'll make PF easier... And Topaz might be a good Fire DPS... And I've wanted Fu Xuan as a mega-support for forever... And Boothill's character design looks hilariously hyper-American...
Ughhh Hoyo is really trying to make me pull out the credit card this patch. I was thinking of getting Topaz or Robin for a FUA team with Ratio, and I kinda want Fu Xuan too. Plus I wanna save for Jade in 2.3 too...
I do already have Ruan Mei, so it probably won't be the end of the world if I skipped Robin... Robin is so cute though, I really want her more than Topaz :meowmeltcry: Maybe if I built Clara she would be a good alternative for a Ratio teammate? :akko_think2: Decisions are hard... #HonkaiStarRail
