如何在 Windows 10 中从 PowerShell 启动通用 Windows 应用程序 (UWP)？

Question

In PowerShell, if I run Get-AppxPackage , I get a list of UWP apps installed, including mine. For example:

Name              : TonyHenrique.tonyuwpteste
Publisher         : CN=tTony
Architecture      : X64
ResourceId        :
Version           : 1.1.12.0
PackageFullName   : TonyHenrique.tonyuwpteste_1.1.12.0_x64__h3h3tmhvy8gfc
InstallLocation   : C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\TonyHenrique.tonyuwpteste_1.1.12.0_x64__h3h3tmhvy8gfc
IsFramework       : False
PackageFamilyName : TonyHenrique.tonyuwpteste_h3h3tmhvy8gfc
PublisherId       : h3h3tmhvy8gfc
IsResourcePackage : False
IsBundle          : False
IsDevelopmentMode : False
Dependencies      : {Microsoft.NET.CoreRuntime.2.1_2.1.25801.2_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe, Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.Debug_14.0.25805.1_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe,
                    TonyHenrique.tonyuwpteste_1.1.12.0_neutral_split.scale-100_h3h3tmhvy8gfc}
IsPartiallyStaged : False
SignatureKind     : Developer
Status            : Ok

Now I want to start this app.

How to do this in PowerShell , or in cmd ?

Answer 1

During development, I've encountered a situation where the app family name occasionally changed. You can reliably launch an app by name with a simple lookup:

• Cmd

  powershell.exe explorer.exe shell:AppsFolder\\$(get-appxpackage -name YourAppName ^| select -expandproperty PackageFamilyName)!App

• Powershell

  explorer.exe shell:AppsFolder\\$(get-appxpackage -name YourAppName | select -expandproperty PackageFamilyName)!App

With the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709 (build 16299) you now have the ability to define an app execution alias for your UWP app, so you can launch it easily from cmd or powershell:

<Extensions>
    <uap5:Extension
      Category="windows.appExecutionAlias"
      StartPage="index.html">
      <uap5:AppExecutionAlias>
        <uap5:ExecutionAlias Alias="MyApp.exe" />
      </uap5:AppExecutionAlias>
    </uap5:Extension>
</Extensions>

Furthermore, we now support commandline arguments for UWP apps. You can read them from the OnActivated event:

async protected override void OnActivated(IActivatedEventArgs args)
{
    switch (args.Kind)
    {
        case ActivationKind.CommandLineLaunch:
            CommandLineActivatedEventArgs cmdLineArgs = 
                args as CommandLineActivatedEventArgs;
            CommandLineActivationOperation operation = cmdLineArgs.Operation;
            string cmdLineString = operation.Arguments;
            string activationPath = operation.CurrentDirectoryPath;

Answer 3

在 PowerShell 中试试这个：

start shell:AppsFolder\TonyHenrique.tonyuwpteste_h3h3tmhvy8gfc!App

Answer 4

如果您知道显示名称，则可以使用包含正确后缀的Get-StartApps ：

start "shell:AppsFolder\$(Get-StartApps "Groove Music" | select -ExpandProperty AppId)"

I know it's an old post, but I built a function to do it.
Hope it helps other folks.

function Start-UniversalWindowsApp {

    [CmdletBinding()]
    param (
        [Parameter(
            Mandatory,
            Position = 0,
            ValueFromPipeline,
            ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $false
        )]
        [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]
        [string]$Name,
        
        [Parameter()]
        [pscredential]$Credential
    )

    $queriedapp = $Global:UwpList | Where-Object { $PSItem.Name -like "*$Name*" }
    if (!$queriedapp) { Write-Error -Exception [System.Data.ObjectNotFoundException] -Message "No app was found with the name '$Name'." }
    if ($queriedapp.Count -gt 1) {
        $indexapplist = @()
        for ($i = 1; $i -le $queriedapp.Count; $i++) {
            $indexapplist += [pscustomobject]@{ Index = $i; App = $queriedapp[$i - 1] }
        }

        Write-Host @"
More than one app was found for the name $($Name):

"@

        $indexapplist | ForEach-Object { Write-Host "$($PSItem.Index) - $($PSItem.App.Name)" }
        $usrinput = Read-Host @"

Select one or all packages.
[I] Package Index  [A] All  [C] Cancel
"@

        while (($usrinput -ne 'A') -and ($usrinput -ne 'C') -and ($usrinput -notin $indexapplist.Index) ) {
            if ($usrinput) {
                Write-Host "Invalid option '$usrinput'."
            }
        }

        $appstorun = $null
        switch ($usrinput) {
            'A' { $appstorun = $queriedapp }
            'C' { $Global:LASTEXITCODE = 1223; return }
            Default { $appstorun = ($indexapplist | Where-Object { $PSItem.Index -eq $usrinput }).App }
        }

    }
    else {
        $appstorun = $queriedapp
    }

    if ($Credential) {
        foreach ($app in $appstorun) {
            Start-Process -FilePath 'explorer.exe' -ArgumentList "shell:AppsFolder\$($app.PackageFamilyName)!App" -Credential $Credential
        }
    }
    else {
        foreach ($app in $appstorun) {
            Start-Process -FilePath 'explorer.exe' -ArgumentList "shell:AppsFolder\$($app.PackageFamilyName)!App"
        }
    }

}
