Here's how to create a desktop shortcut and/or hot key on Windows 10
1. Open the cortana search box.
2. Start typing Internet Explorer until it appears.
3. Press the Application key to open the context menu.
4. Activate "Open file location".
5. You'll land on the shortcut to IE in the Start menu folder.
6. You can either open the context menu, Properties, and add a shortcut
key, or, open the context menu, Send to, Desktop (create shortcut). Then
you can add a shortcut to the desktop item via Properties in the context
menu.
Hth,

You can press the Windows key, and when Cortana comes up, type Internet, and
this will probably point you to IE. But a better way is to find out where IE
is on your taskbar. If it is the fourth item from the left, for example, you
can type the combination Windows-4 (the 4 is on the number row) and IE will
start up. Or you can press Windows-T, use the arrow keys to move right or
left to Internet Explorer, then the context-menu key to open a jump list for
I E. You can up or down arrow through the jump list and open frequently used
websites using I E. Same methodology can be used for Firefox, the Windows
file explorer, or other programs that you pin to the taskbar.

Thank you so much, I think I can find it. But a quick question I have is, is
there a hockey to bring up Internet explore. I can't seem to put it on my
desktop. Thank you so much, I probably have just missed the setting in the
manual. That's what happens when you get old :-) old shock in Columbus Ohio

Hi:
I was getting some focus problems in desktop and in internet explorer,
sometimes the up and down arrow keys would stop working in the middle of
reading or a read to end.
I found out there is a Windows10 setting that will automatically pop up a
window from time to time that is pretty much inaccessible and doesn't even
read, no title bar and you cant route the mouse to it - it just \seems
nothing is there.
Using narrator I would hear "Send us feedback" when it would pop up but
nothing with Windoweyes.
There is a setting that allows us to turn off this automatic request from
Microsoft to send them feedback and I found it and turned it off.
After a couple of days now the problems seemingly are much better.
It still happens but not nearly as frequently.
My guess there is something else automatically happening to cause focus to
jump around and sometimes end up in the task bar but I havent found that
one
yet.
So if you are having this type of problem find the setting to turn off the
automatic requests for sending Microsoft feedback and set it to never.
You can still send them feedback but you wont get asked many times each
day
to do it and this nasty inaccessible window wont pop up - or at least not
so
often.
I forget how I got to it, I was just following some google posting but if
you cant find it easily I will go back and find out how to get to it.
