    Hi,

    You should have one on your desktop after installing but otherwise you can create your own by going into the installation folder which is usually located in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Desktop\bin" and locate the PBIDesktop exe file and right click -> create shortcut

    If you can't find it in Program Files you might have the WinStore version. 

    You can navigate to shell:AppsFolder from the Windows Explorer address bar, locate it, right click it and pick "create shortcut". You will then be prompted to create it in desktop as you are not allowed to create it in the shell folder. Hope it helps.
