Shortcut for Apple Music on Windows

Adding to my immense dissatisfaction with Apple Music on Windows is the fact that I cannot add a shortcut to my StreamDeck, because the exe comes from the dreaded MS store and is hidden away. I have removed and re-installed, but it makes no difference. I tried to go back to iTunes and failed. This really is a low grade effort from Apple. Can anyone offer a way to get a shortcut onto the desktop in W11? Thank you.

Hi, thanks for the reply, however I couldn't go through losing all those settings. I have persevered with Music. It actually crashes less than iTunes. I discovered a way to create a shortcut for StreamDeck: Open Apple Music. Cntrl + Alt + Delete and open Task Manager. Turn down menu next to Apple Music and select the executable. Right click and select Open File Location. Create a shortcut by dragging the .exe onto the Desktop.
