Windows 10: Move App from Desktop to Taskbar in Windows 10

I have a number of apps on my desktop which I can't move to the taskbar. Two examples are my link to Hotmail and my bank.

Drag and drop doesn't work.

I've Googled this and get the most useless replies, most of which are out of date.

When I right click the icon, then go to 'Properties', the tabs available no longer include one which enables me to move it to the taskbar.

These 'apps' are not in the list of apps available via the Start button.


Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

Sorry for the delay in response.

I suggest you to unpin the applications from the taskbar and pin it again.

desktop or taskbar.
