    How do I make a shortcut for apps from the Windows Store somewhere other than the taskbar...


    I am using the Stardock suite of programs to revamp my desktop because am wanting to use some of their sharp looking skins and in the process I want to clean up my taskbar leaving only the 3 folders I have created as customized jumplist on it. Below is an image of one of those jumplist. Now, I have found the folder where the Microsoft Store is installed with all of its apps and took possession of it so that I could access it, but when I try to run what I think is the Store to make sure I am grabbing the right file to make a shortcut out of I get the error message in the second image below.

    How do I add a shortcut to the Taskbar on Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your concern on Microsoft Community.

    As per the issue description you are unable to add a shortcut to the taskbar in Windows 10. You are right that there is no option to pin the shortcut to the taskbar. However, you should be able to drag and drop the shortcut to the taskbar. If you are unable
    to do that try the steps provided below and see if it helps you to fix the issue.

    • Open the network connection page by clicking on the shortcut.
    • Once that page is open, you could see the same in the taskbar.
    • Now, right click on the icon of network connection in the taskbar which is representing your shortcut.
    • Select the option pin to the taskbar.
    • Now the shortcut will be pinned to the taskbar.

    Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.

    Regards,

    Windows Store app shortcuts on taskbar are there and work, but are invisible

    I use a number of "store" apps such as Mail, Calculator or Maps, and had shortcuts to them on my Windows 10 task bar.



    Suddenly they appeared to have disappeared but I found that they were still there and did work, but the button was just a blank square. The same shortcuts display correctly if placed on the desktop.



    This happens with EVERY Windows Store app shortcut that I add to the Taskbar, but shortcuts to normal applications display correctly.



    Any ideas?

    Windows 10 commands/shortcuts/env. var.

    I hate the fact that the control panel classic is missing from windows 10. My work around was simply to type in control panel in the start menu search bar and then pin the resulting control panel shortcut to the start menu quick access panel or taskbar

    I think I'm unwilling to change with the times *Smile How do I make a shortcut for apps from the Windows Store somewhere other than the taskbar... :)
