In Microsoft Edge, add to the Favorites list the web page for which you want a shortcut. (To do this, click the star icon in the address bar once you're on the page you want.)

Open File Explorer and navigate to the following location:

C:\Users\ (your account) \AppData\Local\Packages \Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe \AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default\Favorites\Links (eta, mistake in source, edited here)

Find your shortcut within the Links folder, then right click it, then click "Send to" and then "Send to desktop (create shortcut)".

(Only needed if Edge is not the default web browser) On the desktop, right click the newly created shortcut, then click properties. In the URL field, type microsoft-edge: just before the web address. For example: microsoft-edge:http://www.google.com

(Optional) Right click the desktop shortcut, click Rename, and give it whatever name you want.

(Optional) Right click the desktop shortcut, click properties, then click Change Icon. Browse to a folder you've previously created in C:/windows/system32 that contains custom icons (.ico files) that you've downloaded from various icon collection websites for free. You can also use already embedded icons, but those aren't any fun!
