How to make a win10 shortcut to an app

How to create a desktop shortcut for ' HP scan and capture' ?

To scan a document of picture, HP devices need an app ' HP scan and capture', that pins itself to the Win-10 taskbar.

I don't want a zillion apps in the taskbar - prefer an old-fahioned link on desktop or in start-menu.

Anyone who knows how to create a shortcut to this app?

Click and Go to "Windows" key or Start Menu < the Menu opens< Go to HP app < Right click and click on "more" < click on "Open file location"<The app icon appears in a folder < Drag the HP app icon to desktop and you can unpin the app from task bar.
