    How do I create shortcuts of apps from the microsoft store?


    I can't believe that I have to ask this but I can't seem to find ANY option to create a desktop shortcut.

    On the store it only allows me to pin it to the taskbar, from the start menu there's no option to open the file location of the app so I can manually create one myself, and there's also no option to create a shortcut through the start menu.
