Create Desktop Shortcut for Store App /Software in Windows 11
To create a desktop shortcut for a Store app or software in Windows 11, follow these steps:
If you've downloaded software or an app from the Microsoft Store, such as the Instagram app, and want to create a desktop shortcut, start by right-clicking on your desktop, selecting "New," and then "Shortcut." In the shortcut creation window, you need to browse to the location where the app is installed. Typically, apps from the Microsoft Store are located in the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps directory, but accessing this folder might require additional permissions and is generally not straightforward.
Instead, you can use the following workaround: Open the Start menu and find the app you want to create a shortcut for. Drag the app from the Start menu to the desktop. This will automatically create a shortcut.
If the above method doesn't work, you can manually create a shortcut by right-clicking on the desktop, selecting "New," then "Shortcut." For the shortcut location, type the following: explorer shell:AppsFolder\{App-ID}, replacing {App-ID} with the actual App ID. This method is a bit more technical but can be useful if dragging the app from the Start menu doesn't work.
By following these steps, you can create a desktop shortcut for any app or software downloaded from the Microsoft Store. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them down below.
