Support UWP apps #119

Open gabrc52 opened 3 years ago

Would it be possible to add Universal Windows Platform / Windows Store apps to winapps (i.e. Microsoft Whiteboard)? Are they already supported? If so, how can I add one?

Deleted my previous comment cause of screenshot, but if you run shell:appsfolder in a Explorer window you can launch UWP apps. I think the current install scripts don't support detecting if a UWP app is installed, but I think it should be doable with some investigating.

Thanks for the tip! It might not be as smooth but it's great to be able to open UWP apps :)

Unfortunately some apps like "OneNote for Windows 10" don't work with the method mentioned by @scaryrawr . The app opens but it's all buggy and unusable. The only way to use it is opening the whole Windows 10 session.
