    Is there a way to unpin an app from desktop, but not from start?


    Hi!I would like to know if there is a way for me to remove an app from my desktop. The only options I found to do that hid every app from view. Is there a way to just hide one? Thanks.

    :)

    How do I pin & unpin apps on start screen?

    If you want to pin installed apps, tap and hold an app in the app list. Then choose to pin it to the start screen.



    If you want to unpin an app, just long press the tile and you will see a unpin symbol (pin with a slash through it). Click that and it is unpinned.

    'Pin to Start' and 'Unpin from Start" items in Windows 10


    Thanks Cliff. The first suggestion didn't work because the shortcut icon is not listed. The second easier suggestion didn't work because right-clicking does not include "Open File Location" as an option, only "Unpin from Start" and "Resize". Screenshots are included. "xmltobgl" is the culprit icon.
