t shouldn't be this difficult. I downloaded ChatGPT today. When you right click on the app the only. thing you can do is pin it to the start menu or pin it to the task bar.. I want to put it on my desktop. I searched the entire hard drive for chat GPT .exe and was able to put a shortcut to it on my desktop but at that point I could not change the icon to the ChatGPT icon. There has to be a better way. My start menu and my task bar are getting full.. I want to put a shortcut to these apps on my desktop. What am I missing?

Right-click the app icon in the start menu and “open file location” (I had to choose “more”).
You can also look for the icon in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
Copy that shortcut to your desktop.
That would be too easy LOL! I can't get a screenshot but there is no “open file location” not is it in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs. I have hit this before. Apps downloaded from the Microsoft Store don't have the normal right click options.

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
