Detailed description:
As shown in the video, I cannot add calculator app to screenpad launcher. I have tried to add a group and it asked me to add at least two apps. I found it nonsense. No asus videos show how to work with this option. I think the esasiest way is to allow users to right click on the launcher area and allow us to add any app!

I finally found the answer by retrying to add several apps from the app list. I successfully added an app from desktop which is a shortcut. So I created an empty shortcut and in the target line, I typed "c:\windows\system32\calc.exe". After that, I moved this shortcut into the launcher area.
The asus video guide of how to use screenXpert didn't give any details about this strick choice.

From a Home screen, tap the. Apps icon. (located at the bottom).
From the Apps tab, touch and hold an app.
Drag and drop the shortcut to the preferred home screen. For the app to be successfully added, there must be sufficient space within the selected home screen.

What I found is that ScreenXpert cannot directlyadd a windows default app to its app launcher. That's why I had to create an empty shortcut and target that needed app (in my example, calc.exe (which is located at c:\windows\system32). I had no problem when adding any app shortcut from my desktop.
