Hi there, @alwys_tired. 👋

Thanks for posting about this, and sorry for any frustration this has caused.

Have you tried dragging the app from the start menu? If not, you can find apps in the Start menu and drag them to the desktop directly from there.

Feel free to check out these pages:

• How to Create Desktop Shortcut for apps from Windows Store?
  
• Pin apps and folders to the desktop or taskbar
  

Let me know if this helps. 🎧

Thanks for your patience over the weekend, and sorry to hear that those steps didn't help.

I was able to locate this thread for others experiencing a similar issue: Microsoft Community: Create desktop shortcuts in Windows 11 

If you continue to have trouble with this, I would recommend reaching out to Microsoft for further instructions about how to perform this action as this is outside of our scope of expertise.

I hope this information is helpful. Feel free to keep us updated. 👍
