This seems like it should be super straightforward, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. In case it's helpful and relevant, I'm using Office 365.

Borrowing from @Mcore8x's answer for a similar question, you can navigate to

shell:AppsFolder

using the Run dialog or entering it into Explorer's address bar.

You can use those items show to create shortcuts onto Desktop or other places.

All you have to do is copy and paste the shortcut that exists at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs onto your desktop

  • @Albin - It does not matter. I have looked at multiple machines with various versions of Office installed. – Ramhound Aug 14 '19 at 19:51
  • not really sure what you mean, but the app and desktop versions of office do have significat difference. For example the app version does not leave a regular shortcut in the startmenue (the desktopversion eg. 2016 does). Which app version did you check? – Albin Aug 16 '19 at 19:01
  • “The app version” are you talking about the one on the Windows Store? I only have access to the desktop versions of Office 2016, Office 2019, and office 365. – Ramhound Aug 16 '19 at 20:23
  • I think so, but I'll have to check. What exactly is the application path in your shortcut? Something like "C:\someting\excel.exe"? – Albin Aug 16 '19 at 20:54
