Does your desktop have 400 icons on it? Just wondering how you launch your apps on your normal machines. Icons on desktop, pinned to taskbar, Start menu, Start search (that searchbox can be used to launch stuff), Windows R to run stuff, or browse via Explorer. Oh you could also open Task Manager and execute new task. There are so many ways to run apps in Windows its crazy.
