  2. Windows 10 Send to Desktop as Shortcut is missing

    Hello,

    Thank you for your response.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows + R keys and Type "shell:sendto" in
      RUN dialog box and press Enter. It'll open "Send To" folder.
    • Now right-click on blank area in the folder and select "New -> Text document". It'll create a text file with the name "New Text Document.txt". Rename this file and set its name to "Desktop (create shortcut).DeskLink".
    • That's it. Now you'll get "Desktop (create shortcut)" option back in "Send To" menu.
    NOTE: Make sure "Hide extensions for known file types" option is disabled in "Folder
    Options"

    Hope it helps. Keep us posted to help you better.
