Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to follow below steps to change pin the apps on the desktop screen and check if it helps.

Step 1: I suggest you to perform the below steps to add the apps on desktop.

• Click on the “Start button” and locate the App that you want to pin to Desktop.
• Right click on the “App” and click on “More options”.
• Then click on “Open File location” and right click on the app, click on “Send to” option.
• Then select “Desktop (Create shortcut)”.
• Go to “Desktop” and check whether the app is located or not.

Or Step 2: To add shortcuts to the desktop

• Press and hold or right-click the desktop, tap or click New, and then tap or click Shortcut.
• Enter the location of the item or tap or click Browse to find the item in File Explorer.

Open file location is missing in pinned apps

The setting that turns these jump lists on or off for pinned app on the taskbar (you can also right-click on apps in the Start menu to see them) is found in Settings - Personalisation - Start. The last toggle in the list is 'Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or taskbar'.

BTW: A quick way to clear all Jump Lists is to turn this off then back on again.

 

Pinned app on Start menu won't open

Hi Tom,

The issue may have something to do with the pinned app that you're trying to open from the Start menu. For us to effectively assist you with your concern, we would like to know the following:

• Have you tried rebooting your computer and see if the issue persists?
• Does the issue also occur to all the pinned apps on the Start menu?
• Have you tried unpinning and pinning it back?

Regards.
