Store Apps Tool v1.1


Add store Apps to the context menu
The Microsoft Store app comes built into Windows and allows you to download and install dozens of apps and games. It’s possible to open any Microsoft Store app from Command Prompt , Run dialog box or PowerShell. You can also easily add any Microsoft Store application to the Windows Right Click (Context) Menu. But, to be able to do that, you need to know the app’s Package Family Name and App ID. A Package Family Name is an opaque string derived from only two parts of a package identity – name and publisher:
< Name >_< PublisherId >
For example, the Package Family Name of the Windows Photos app is :
Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe

Name :  Microsoft.Windows.Photos
Publisher ID : 8wekyb3d8bbwe

There are many ways to find your app’s unique Package Family Name and App User Model ID :

1. You can use a powershell script.

2. You can find the AUMID by using File Explorer.

3. You can use the registry to find out the AUMID of an application that is installed for the current user.

See the related microsoft article for details on the above topics. But none of the above methods will give you the direct code for the execution of a store application. For this reason, we have coded a simple application called: Store Apps Tool.
