Unable to create Desktop Shortcuts

I recently got some new games and wanted to put shortcuts for the ones I really enjoyed. I right clicked a game and clicked "Create Desktop Shortcut" and it gave me this error: "Could not create shortcut. A shortcut is probably already on the Desktop.". I don't have any of these games on my desktop yet, so I'm not sure whats going on. Thanks.

Hello I came across this problem and saw this thread when trying to solve this problem and I just want to say that clearing download cache worked for me. Open your Steam Client -> Steam (top-left) -> Settings -> Download tab -> Clear Download Cache

This is definitely a permissions issue. I was having this same problem, and I tried closing Steam and relaunching it as Administrator. The problem disappeared.

This fixed the problem for me.

Had same issue. Easy fix, close/exit steam at all..
Search for steam, right click and run it as administrator, and that will fix it..

Like i said had same issue after re-instaling windows, as steam is in my case on D drive, for some reason would not create shortcuts, so done that ad fixed.. I dont know why it didnt work at first as this happened to me first time.. But yeah, I find that first thing to do if something wrong with steam, just start it as administrator.. and might fix all problems/issues!

Kind regards,
Malcom

I have the same problem, I don't create the icons on the desktop, unless I run it as an administrator. Will it be a problem with the latest version of Steam or with Windows 7?

Launching steam as Administrator solved the problem for me.

2 ways to fix:
1) Create a shortcut on your desktop directly to the steam link thing.
desktop > right click > new > shortcut > steam://rungameid/[game id of game] > next > name of game
You can find game id by going to the store page or community hub page for the game
2) On steam > Click steam top right > exit > then run it as an administrator

This started happening to me for the first time ever after doing a fresh install of Win10 (1903).

There has to be an underlying issue here either with Windows or Steam?

Running Steam as Admin means that you always have to manually start Steam after a reboot.

I hope Valve notices this as it may just be a bug/glitch in the newest version of the app.

Can confirm. I just did a clean install of Win10 (1903) yesterday, and now I'm having the same problem.

I hope Valve fixes this, 'cause it's really annoying

This has nothing to do with the issue from when this thread was created 2 years ago.

The devs are on it.

The issue is, you shouldn't need to do that and the devs are working on a patch so you don't have to do that.
