The Windows 11 Start menu with a program icon and a small menu next to it. The menu choice Pin to taskbar is circled in red.

  1. Click Start.
  2. Find the program you want. Right-click it. If you do not see it, click All at the top right of the Start menu. Right-click means press the right button on your mouse.
  3. Click Pin to taskbar. On Windows 10, click More first, then Pin to taskbar.
  4. Look at the bar along the bottom. The icon now stays there. To remove it later, right-click the icon and click Unpin from taskbar.

Pinned icons give you one-click access to the programs you use most.
