Apps appearing on my home screen.

[AC Question]

I have HTC a9 and my installed apps keep appearing on my home screen. Not new apps as I disabled the option in play store. I can't find the answer anywhere. Every time I use any app on my phone a shortcut is created. I arranged my home screen witbfolders etc and this is driving me maf. Help please to stop it
