Where Is The New Minecraft Launcher Exe Located

Windows apps shortcuts don't involve the .exe.

Option 1:

select Start > Settings > Personalization > Start > enable "Show app list in Start menu"

Once enabled, your Start Menu will now have an App List on the left (Picture).

Scroll down to Minecraft Launcher and drag the icon to the desktop.

Option 2:

An alternate method to create a short for new Minecraft Launcher

Use the Windows key + to change the language.

Enter shell:AppsFolder by typing in

Find the new Minecraft Launcher

Right click and create a shortcut

If they don't involve the .exe does that mean its no longer possible to add Minecraft as a non-steam game to my steam library? Trying to make it work with my xbox controller and thats the main method I've seen people suggest but as far as I've been able to tell I need to select the minecraftlauncher.exe to add it to my library and that doesn't seem to exist anymore.

This was a lot simpler than I had expected. Thank you!

It worked great, thanks! I could never figure it out for my forza either

It looks great!

"Don't have permission to open this file" I've tried everything and tried to give permission. Is there any way to get it to allow me to use the Java edition controller?

This is a wonderful help. However, I am getting the dreaded OpenGL1282 error.

I tried all the wonderful advice that was offered by users in this thread, but it didn't work. MINECRAFT SERVERS Steam doesn't support the new launcher, no matter what I do. I may not be an expert, but Java MC doesn't have controller support. We deserve better than this work-around.
