UWP apps no longer work correctly #127

After some recent Windows Xbox app updates, AutoActions no longer works correctly with UWP apps. Other apps, e.g from Steam are unaffected and remain working as expected.

There are two problems here: Firstly, if any UWP app at all is added to AA, the action will trigger regardless of what app is opened. It seems that UWP games are no longer differentiated. I can easily recreate this by removing all UWP apps from AA, and adding a single game, for example, Forza Horizon 5 with an HDR profile. Then if I open any Xbox App game at all, for example, Battletoads, the action will still trigger even though Battletoads has not been added to AutoActions (and doesn't support HDR anyway)

The other problem is that HDR does not stay activated at a game launch. I had been using AA to toggle HDR for compatible games, and what happens now is the HDR will trigger on launching the game as the generic XBox app's loading screen appears, then HDR turns off again when the game loads proper.

I am also experiencing this issue. HDR will turn on at launch and then immediately turn off.

Auto Actions crashes for me when pressing the 'Choose UWP app...' button. Seems like UWP apps are still broken unfortunately.
