My workaround was not to change permissions at all but rather create a folder in TaskbarGroups called CustomShortcuts. Inside there, I have made my shortcuts to the main applications:
C:\Users\
Do you have a suggestion for third party apps like Twitch and Netflix? I don't see them in the AppData...\WindowsApps folder.

It is a hidden folder, so you'll need to enable viewing hidden folders from View-> Hidden Files and Folders.
:) I know where the WindowsApps folder is, it's the Twitch and Netflix apps I can't find in there. There are only Microsoft and Apple related apps in the folder. Any idea where I might find those Microsoft Store apps or if I could use the .App link you get when you drag the apps from Start\All apps > to the Desktop?

Sorry Netfix is there but it's not a normal application, how to start it:
Start-Process netflix:
From there you can either create a bat file or another launcher to run this.

Thanks for the information. It seems like such a hassle I think I'll just delete the Twitch and Netflix apps and switch to using their sites instead.

I haven't tried this yet (not near a computer) but might be another way by simply creating a shortcut.
Perhaps someone can look at the code base and see if it can automatically reference the store apps.
Also, I see some references to Netflix but haven't explored this yet:

Thank you for the suggestion. Honestly, I'm kind of done trying for now. Pity there's no active development of this software anymore. It's a nice idea, and it's strange it's not just a basic feature of Windows.
Just stumbled back across this thread, just a year late haha. Was looking for a thread mentioning Microsoft Store issues for another reason. If you guys are still using it by some chance, this was fixed ages ago on the forked repo https://github.com/PikeNote/taskbar-groups-pike-beta/releases. Will be doing active development there.
It seems the Microsoft Store Apps have their .exe hidden within the WindowsApps folder, which is blocked with additional security.
I changed the owner of the folder to Administrators so I can access it, but when I try to add the .exe of a game, I get an error message telling me "You don't have permission to open this file".
I'm trying to use Taskbar Groups to group up my Win 10 games. How am I supposed to do that?
Thank you!
