I never thought before that I would have to watch a TH-cam tutorial just for add new shortcut in my desktop.
is windows turning into mac or something. The things that we were able to do for years now take fucking forever to do
same
same
me too.
@@gsin311 exactly! If we wanted Mac we would have bought Mac
Thank you.. Microsoft just wants to make things more complex 🤦🏻♂️
You're welcome.
Fuck it, start tab does not work
They literally made some Navigation's thru Windows 11 HARDER/LONGER by adding 1 or 2 extra mouse clicks or menus...it's absurd imo.
You should go with Apple environment then,
@@Romoredux Thank you for saying this, I've been going crazy feeling like I'm the only one who's annoyed by the Microsoft changes. Like for workflow efficiency this seems like a step backwards
I've been using computers for 25+ years. I don't know how many computers I've built, but Windows 11 has me watching youtube videos like this.
The drag doesn't really work to my computer, unfair :
Why have they made it so much more complicated? Why can't we just drag it straight from the quick start menu?
Because some people are losers with no friends and have to make shit difficult for others
thankyou SO much! the windows 11 is just complicated for no reason but so quick and easy when people like you explain so thankyou so much nick
You're welcome. Thanks for your nice comment. Happy my video was easy to help.
Thank you so much. Looked at other videos and was lost. This video gave a simple explanation for something that should of been easy from the start.
Great to hear!
"win 11 isnt bad"
It’s not
@@newsuperbowserworld you’re unable to create shortcuts for any app. It’s annoying. Despite this video, there is no way to get app extension shortcuts. Only for the main app.
@@newsuperbowserworld it may not be bad but it’s a downgrade.
@@marloh2906 Downgrade from what? You have to do the exact same steps in Windows 10.
@@newsuperbowserworld no you can’t. It is a downgrade from win 10.
After goggling and going to multiple sites that offered worthless information, I came here and the answer was quick & easy. OMG thank you so much!
Great to hear!
You know that you have made a fuck up when this many people has to search to find out how to use a standard feature...
thanks for the tip
Thank You...just upgraded a computer.....and was going nuts trying to figure how to drag to desktop or use "send-to" commands...which didnt' work....Now I now how to get to the app list and left click drag!
Excellent! Glad I could help!
W11 is difficult for no good reason. Why ruin an easy drag and drop to so many time wasting clicks and searching. Thanks for the tips and thanks for speaking slowly enough for the tips to register.
Of all the things that they could have changed for windows 11, the workflow to make desktop shortcuts was not one of them.... Thank you for making this video and lowering my bloodpressure with this guide. I'm "part of the younger generation that get's technology" and this was infuriating me trying to get this sorted. The workflow of the changes that microsoft is making is NOT more intuitive at all.
You're welcome. Glad to hear my video helped you out.
Thanks. I don't know why they made it so complicated to figure out.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for this! I received my laptop last week and thought maybe I’m an idiot. Went through so many videos, but yours was the one that helped!
Happy to hear my video was the one that actually help you.😎👍
Not bad once you know what to do... but definitely annoying that it's not intuitive! That's why I'm here, I couldn't figure this out without your video. Thanks!
I agree 100% that it's not very intuitive! Glad I could help! 😎
thank you for this video! I am new to Windows 11 and it is very different than Windows 10. looks to me that microsoft had to go an add more clicks to get anything like this done.
You're welcome😎👍

any idea how to create a shortcut to one file? I want to link an excel file to my desktop
Open up "File Explorer" locate Excel file > select file > drag and drop on to desktop.
Great! Very helpful!
Thanks!
Why does it put a square around the icon when you create shortcut?
I like to thank for this
You're welcome.
Thanks it is very helpful for me 👍
Glad to hear that
thanks broo
You're Welcome
how do you change the icon, it looks weird with the border thingy
I hate much of Windows 11. Even though it is not a tool, Windows Media Player Legacy is in the Windows Tools Folder. I just like the Windows 10 Media Player more than the Windows 11 version and now I have it on my Desktop!!
Can they make it harder? it needs more menus to look through
BRING BACK GO SCREENS FOR THE WORK ENVIRONMENT
Mspaint won't allow to be dragged to desktop, please help
TYSM
😎👍
thanku
I needed to install spotify from google cause from microsoft store you cannot create a shortcut lol,
That’s great for apps

You can do it through File Explorer: Windows logo key + E on your keyboard and select and drag to you Windows desktop.

I just bought a chromebook with windows 11....but there is no windows icon on the taskbar...
Chromebooks do not run Windows OS, they run Chrome OS.
In win 11 the simple things has gone too complicated, i just want a f😅ing icon on desktop
Every new OS it just gets more complex and less intuitive.
LOL, yeah it's "easy" for those "main apps" but any folder you gotta right click THEN HIT "SHOW MORE OPTIONS" TO GET THE OLD WINDOWS 10 WINDOW FOR THE SHORTCUT...it's absurd. It's like this with A LOT of the old ways I used to navigate Windows. It's like they've added 1-2 extra steps FOR NO REASON.
I also think it's more steps and less intuitive to do many things in Windows 11 that seem easier in Windows 10 to accomplish.
7 months later & still saving lives 🫶🏾
Thanks.
I still can't move my apps on my desktop and when I check it on setting the apps option to move is grayded out
You need to be an Admin User and not Standard or Guest User of your computer or it will not allow.
🙏🙏
If you still can't create shortcuts, here's 100% working method th-cam.com/video/dxONbdoyUYo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks. It worked 🎉
Such a stupid design fail from Microsoft
♥
do better microsoft
