Or you could just drag that icon to the Desktop. But
with one caveat: A Start Menu icon dragged to the Desktop
will disappear from the SM. A shortcut dragged TO the
SM will copy it. (Just drag the shortcut and hover over the
Start button to open the SM for dropping.)
This has worked since Win95 or so. Though I haven't tried
using the Metro billboard Start Menu. I find it completely
unusable and ridiculous, so it's one of the fist things I fix
when making Win10/11 usable. Nevertheless, I'd guess
the drag/drop still works.
