You need to drag and drop the Start menu icon from to the desktop.
However, you'll need to hold the Alt button on your keyboard while doing so : otherwise, the icon won't appear on your desktop.

To attach app store programs to your Windows 11 desktop screen, you can pin them to the desktop or taskbar. Here’s how to do it:

1. Open the Start Menu: Click on the Start button or press the Windows key on your keyboard.
2. Find the App: Scroll through the list of installed apps or use the search bar to find the app you want to pin.
3. Pin to Taskbar or Desktop:
   • To Pin to Taskbar: Right-click on the app and select "Pin to taskbar". This will keep the app accessible from the taskbar.
   • To Create a Desktop Shortcut: Right-click on the app, select "More", and then choose "Pin to Start". After pinning it to Start, you can drag it from the Start menu to your desktop to create a shortcut.
4. Manage Your Shortcuts: You can also organize your desktop by moving the shortcuts around or creating folders for better organization.
