Hi, I installed F1 2021 and GTA V through the Steam library, but they don’t appear in Windows Search. This means each time I want to launch one of them, I have to open Steam and navigate to that game instead of using the search bar. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

Create alternative locations for Windows to locate shortcuts. Set up shortcuts in Steam and store them in a folder like Desktop or add a new search directory. If you already have them, you might encounter a bug where Windows can't find .lnk files—this happened on Windows 10 and I used Launchy instead.
