How to start UWP/Windows 10 Apps from Stream Deck

Start PowerShell, switch to your Desktop using cd and use the command Get-AppxPackage to view all installed UWP apps and its data. We'll gonna pipe the output of that command to a .txt file using >, so we can easily search in it later.

Try the new cross-platform PowerShell <https://aka.ms/pscore6>

PS C:\\Users\\tobimori> cd Desktop
PS C:\\Users\\tobimori\\Desktop> Get-AppxPackage > packages.txt
PS C:\\Users\\tobimori\\Desktop>

Now open the packages.txt we created previously with a text editor of your choice and search for the name of the UWP app you want to start. An entry will look similar this:

To start an app with Stream Deck's built-in System: Open, add that action to your canvas and set the App / File property to the following:
```
explorer.exe shell:appsFolder\\<replace-with-PackageFamilyName>!App
```
Make sure to replace <replace-with-PackageFamilyName> with the PackageFamilyName from the previously generated text file.
To start an app with Advanced Launcher, select the wonderful Windows Explorer from your C:/Windows/ folder (or on whatever drive you installed Windows) and set the Arguments property to the following:
```
shell:appsFolder\\<replace-with-PackageFamilyName>!App
```

Make sure to replace <replace-with-PackageFamilyName> with the PackageFamilyName from the previously generated text file.
