How do you launch a Windows 10 app at startup? [duplicate]
I want to know where the Metro applications (Mail, People, Messages, ...) executable file path is.
Also, how can I run Mail application when my PC starts?
The answer from vhanla (Nov 1, '12) has a problem: you're only launching the default application. For example, if I run mailto:
then Outlook opens, not Mail.
In Windows 10, there's another way:
If you open the start menu and All Apps, you can normal click and drag (left click) a modern app, to create a shortcut. It doesn't work if you typed the name of the app into search, but it works if you browse to All Apps.
Simply,
Windows + R and run shell:AppsFolder
You will see all apps in this window. Create a shortcut to the desktop, then copy that shortcut to the startup folder available at shell:Startup
or found at the following location:
%SystemDrive%\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
