Launching windows 10 store apps

问题

I am looking for a way to launch/run windows store apps on windows 10/8.1 from C#.

Examples of the apps I am trying to run are

1. Calculator
2. Photos
3. Settings

Note: in Windows 10 these are no longer standard .exe files that can be executed by double clicking or calling Process.Start() as they are now windows store apps.

I have tried to use IApplicationActivationManager but I cannot find decent documentation with examples of how to use it.

回答1:

There are several ways to do it. The easiest way is to use Process.Start and the URL or file handlers.

For example this will open the Video app:

Process.Start("microsoftvideo://");

Or the Store on the updates page:

Process.Start("ms-windows-store:updates");

Or the Photos app:

Process.Start("ms-photos://");

There are several more handles, some of them can you find here. You can find the names when you open the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Extensions\ContractId\Windows.Protocol\PackageId. Look for the CustomProperties key. It has an attribute Name. That is the one to use.

Some other useful pointer can be found on SU: How do I run a Metro-Application from the command-line in Windows 8?.
