Note
If you are having a problem with the game loading from the SH5.exe see Picture 24 below the circle is continuously spinning trying to update the game before launching.
Click on the x to close the game down and it will exit back o the Desktop.
Now load the game from Ubisoft Connect it is quite possible that your game picture is showing an update button and for some reason could not do it from the SH5.exe


You can make 'Ubisoft Connect' a Shortcut on your Desktop or Pin it to the Taskbar
