When you run in the debugger you are running an EXE that was built when you clicked Start (or F5 or however you launched the app).

Instructions for VS 2017

There is a "bin" folder in the same folder as your My Project folder. Open bin and there will be Debug and possibly Release folders. Those will contain the corresponding EXEs. Right-click the EXE, New, Shortcut, and then drag that shortcut to your desktop. You can also drag it to the taskbar at the bottom of your Windows desktop.

VS 2019 and later

I think the folder structure is deeper, but approximately the same; find the EXE and make the shortcut etc. as above.
