    Windows 11 Drag and Drop


    Previously in Windows 10, you would be able to drag any app on the Start Menu to your desktop to make a shortcut. I've found that in Windows 11 you are not able to do this.

Any ideas how I can get apps like these to my desktop? also from doing research I believe there is no .exe application in the file pat
