Windows 10: How to find calculator.exe path and add shortcut to desktop?

In Windows 11 how do I find the executable path to the calculator executable, then add a shortcut to the calculator on my windows desktop?This used to be easy under Windows 10! So far the only way I see to find and executable path is in the Task Manager, which is in and of itself idiotic. Before I could right click on an app in the start menu to accomplish this. Anyway, when I try to view the executable path in the task manager I get the message shown below.

Hi Judy,

Click your Start Button, then just type calculator

In the resulting list, right click the Calculator App and choose 'Pint to Start'

Then simply drag the new tile from your Start Menu onto your Desktop to create a Desktop Shortcut

You can then if you wish delete that new tile on your Start Menu for the Calculator

That's It!
