@jaysdeli, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding HP Smart App to Home Screen! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

  

Download and Install HP Smart App

  • If you haven't already installed the HP Smart app, you can download it from the Microsoft Store.
  • Search for "HP Smart" and click on the "Get" button to install the app.

Create a Shortcut

  • Once installed, you can create a shortcut on your desktop for easy access:
    • Open the Start menu and find the HP Smart app in the list of installed applications.
    • Right-click on the HP Smart app, select "More," and then choose "Open file location."
    • If the file location option is not available, try searching for the HP Smart app again, right-click, and choose "Pin to Start" or "Pin to taskbar" for easier access.

Drag to the Desktop

  • If you have found the app location, right-click on the HP Smart app icon, select "Create shortcut," and drag the shortcut to your desktop.

Pin to Home Screen

  • Alternatively, you can also right-click the HP Smart app in the Start menu and select “Pin to Start” to add the app to your Start menu tiles for quick access.

By following these steps, you should have the HP Smart app conveniently accessible from your home screen or desktop.  

 

Hope this helps!
