Windows 10: When I try and pin Windows 10 apps to the desktop it just shows up as "app" and directs me...

Whether I drag and drop or do it via the right click context menu it yields the same result. Any help? I could not find a single thing online about this because what I'm searching is not what comes up.

pin Facebook and Tumblast app to desktop?

I have downloaded the Facebook and Tumblast apps to my Windows 10 computer and when I right click on them in the list of apps, I can pin them to the start menu and the taskbar, but not the desktop. Is there any way to pin them to the desktop or create a
shortcut? I **don't** want it create a shortcut that opens FB and Tumblr in my browser. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks,

KJ
