To make a desktop shortcut to a WEB PAGE then, if you're using Internet Explorer or something like Firefox, the 'regular' way of doing it still works in Windows 10. i.e. go to the relevant web page, reduce the size of your browser window (so that you can see some of the desktop as well) and drag the icon immediately to the left of where it says 'www' (in the address bar) onto your desktop.
However if you're using Edge that won't work though. Instead you need to use Option Three here:

The address bar is at the top of the page. When you open a web page it will automatically show in the bar www&c. To the left of www is what looks like a sheet of paper. As Chris says, first reduce your screen size by clicking on the box at the very top right, just before the x. Then left click on that piece of paper just before www, hold it down and drag the cursor to the the desk top then release. You can then maximize your screen size and your icon will be saved on the desktop.
