Windows 10 - How to find and start a program


There are at least 5 ways to find & start a program on Windows 10.
As an example, I will show the various methods to find and start the 'Windows Media Player' program.  (Click on an image to see the full size.)

Note: I'm using the Windows 10 Anniversary edition which is slightly different than the first Windows 10 as it shows the list of programs by default instead of having click on the 'all apps' icon to show the program list.

The 5 methods are -

1) A Taskbar Shortcut icon    (only if you have one. 
2) A Desktop Shortcut icon   (only if you have one. 
3) From a Start screen icon    (only if you have one. 
4) From the Program List.
5) From a Search.




1) From a Taskbar Shortcut icon.



2) From a Desktop Shortcut icon.



3) From Start Screen icon.



4) From the Program List.

1) Click on the Start button to open the Start menu.

2) Scroll down the Program list until you find the program that you want (older versions of Windows 10 will have to click the 'All apps' icon to show the Program list.)

3) Single click on the Program name to start it.


5) From a Search.

1) Click on the Search box and enter a search term. In this case, I only had to enter the word 'media' for the search to find the program. 


2) Single left-click on the pogram name or icon to start it up.
