Windows 11 includes a mixture of native apps and what Microsoft calls universal apps. Notepad, paint -- these have transitioned to the windows store as universal apps. You have a couple options to make shortcuts. Paint for example (but this works for any universal app): Method 1: 1. On the desktop, right click and select Create Shortcut 2. Set path to mspaint .. click next 3. MS Paint as the name 4. Finish You'll get a generic shortcut -- icon will use a generic app icon Method 2: 1. Click the windows button 2. All apps 3. Find Paint in the list 4. Drag the icon to the desktop Method 3: 1. Click Window key + R and type shell:appsfolder 2. This will show all apps (native and universal) -- find the app you want to create a shortcut to 3. Select it, right click, select create shortcut (usually the last entry in the context menu) --tr -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries <[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of charles meyer Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2022 3:00 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [CODE4LIB] Windows 10 -vs- 11 Comparison Chart My esteemed listmates, My first entree (that just makes me hungry!) into W11 doesn't convince me W11 progress from W10. 9 steps just to create a W11 desktop icon. https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-add-icon-to-desktop-windows/ It seems that only work for 3rd party applications.
