以编程方式在Windows 10中启动录音机

Question

The good old "Sound Recorder" application has been replaced with Windows 10 Store App "Voice Recorder".

I want to launch "Voice Recorder" programmatically using PowerShell or C#.

What is the shell command to launch the Voice Recorder in Windows 10?

Answer 1

The correct way to launch an AppX app from the desktop is to use the shell's IApplicationActivationManager::ActivateApplication method.

void Main()
{
    var mgr = new ApplicationActivationManager();
    uint processId;
    var name = "Microsoft.WindowsSoundRecorder_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App";
    mgr.ActivateApplication(name, null, ActivateOptions.None, out processId);
}

public enum ActivateOptions
{
    None = 0x00000000,  // No flags set
    DesignMode = 0x00000001,  // The application is being activated for design mode, and thus will not be able to
    // to create an immersive window. Window creation must be done by design tools which
    // load the necessary components by communicating with a designer-specified service on
    // the site chain established on the activation manager.  The splash screen normally
    // shown when an application is activated will also not appear.  Most activations
    // will not use this flag.
    NoErrorUI = 0x00000002,  // Do not show an error dialog if the app fails to activate.
    NoSplashScreen = 0x00000004,  // Do not show the splash screen when activating the app.
}
