Chrome's "Add To Taskbar" Is Broken In Windows 10, Here's What To Do Instead

With every passing year, it feels like I use more and more webapps instead of desktop apps. Chrome's "Add to Taskbar" is a great way to make those webapps feel like desktop apps, but it's slightly broken in Windows 10.

If you try to add a site to Windows' taskbar, you'll probably notice that it doesn't show up at all. 

After trying this about six times today, I discovered that the feature still half works: it will create an app shortcut, just not on your taskbar. After clicking "Add to Taskbar", you have two choices:

Click on Windows 10's Start menu and you should see the app shortcut under "Recently Added".

Right-click on the app's icon and choose Pin to Taskbar.

 It should appear on your taskbar.

If you've turned off "Recently Added" in the Start menu (or it doesn't show up for some reason), do this:

Type chrome://apps in Chrome's address bar and press enter. This should take you to Chrome's "app launcher".

You should see the shortcut there. Right-click on it and make sure "Open in Window" is selected.

Click the app's icon to launch it. Its icon should appear in your Windows taskbar.

Right-click on the icon in your taskbar and choose "Pin to Taskbar".

This was frustrating me a fair amount this morning, so I hope it helps some people.
