The simplest answer to your question on how you can open an application in the absence of icons on the desktop is through the Start menu or Windows Search. Just click the Start menu button and type the name of the application you want to open and click on it in the list of results that appears. Alternatively, you may use the shortcut for Windows key and start typing the application’s name after that. If the application is properly installed, it will show up in the list of Windows Search results.
