Windows 10 - Cannot create desktop shortcuts?

On my Lenovo Miix 2 I cannot create desktop shortcuts.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Should be able to drag and drop them if not right click on an item and "send to Desktop (create shortcut)" - You have to do that from within Explorer though, it won't give you that choice from the Windows 10 Start Menu. I use Classic Shell, so *that* works - Actually it supports dragging an icon right from the Start Menu onto the Desktop. Try it out, just right click on an item and hold, drag it out to the desktop and drop it there.

It also helps to add "This PC" and the other icons back onto the desktop, you can do that via Settings, Appearance, Themes, Desktop Icons.

(Edit) it works in the Windows 10 default Start Menu too, from "All Apps" - Just right click and hold any app you want and drag it out, a popout will appear that says "Link", just let it go when you get it into position.

Hi mobile 1, can you drag any icon on your desktop? Do you have any shortcuts displayed?

If you can't drag anything, you may have desktop icons locked- I don't know if that also means you can't create new shortcuts for sure.
