pin Facebook and Tumblast app to desktop?

I have downloaded the Facebook and Tumblast apps to my Windows 10 computer and when I right click on them in the list of apps, I can pin them to the start menu and the taskbar, but not the desktop. Is there any way to pin them to the desktop or create a
shortcut? I **don't** want it create a shortcut that opens FB and Tumblr in my browser. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks,

KJ

Hi José,

If you want to pin apps from your desktop to your Windows Start menu, you can follow the simple steps below:

• Select all the apps.
• Right-click and look for Pin to Start.

However, after pinning all the apps on your Start menu and you want to remove it on your desktop, just select all the apps, right-click and select
Delete.
