I downloaded and installed Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop, and now I want to start it. I expected I could just go to Metro and type, but nothing (relevant) comes up! I tried to find the installation folder but can't find it. There are a few versions of Visual Studio but none of them say "Express 2013". Despite how I sound, I'm not a complete idiot when it comes to computers, but I just can't seem to open Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop, well, the C++ IDE anyway. I have read the official "Getting Started" guides but they don't tell me how to actually open it! Why can't it be as easy as opening IntelliJ IDEA or PyCharm?

If you have Visual Studio open, go to Tools > Get Tools and Features... which opens the Visual Studio Installer. Or, open the Visual Studio Installer from the Start menu.
If you are running Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8 or Windows 11, you can find the icon listed under the V grouping. If you still can not find the icon, use Windows search (press the Windows logo key, and then enter Visual Studio 2015).
The Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop Language Pack is a free add-on that you can use to switch the language that's displayed in the Visual Studio user interface.
Ok for all who have trouble opening VS you can do it like so:
In the search area of Start type run and in the run window type devenv.
You can also press Win + R to open the run window.
