More Information on Creating a Netflix Shortcut in Windows

The steps above are ideally used when you are watching Netflix in a Web browser. However, if you are using Windows 10, it's possible that you are watching movies and TV shows in the Netflix app instead.

You can also create a Netflix shortcut on your desktop for the Windows app, but the process is slightly different.

First, minimize all of your windows. The fastest way to do this is by right-clicking in the taskbar, then choosing "Show the desktop."

Second, click the Windows icon at the bottom-left corner of the screen, then scroll down until you find the "Netflix" option.

Finally, click and hold on the Netflix option in the menu, then drag it to the desktop.

As with the first method you can rename the shortcut icon by right clicking it then choosing either the Rename option or going into the Properties window and changing the shortcut name there.
