How to run program that is installed from Microsoft Store?

Post by wlashack » 28 Mar 2023, 09:13

Hello,
I use WhatsApp on my Windows 11 laptop. I defined a hotkey to run it this way:

#w::
Run, C:\ProgramData\marti\WhatsApp\WhatsApp.exe
return

It worked well so far until Microsoft put WhatsApp on their Microsoft Store. After that WhatsApp update installed from the Microsoft Store and I cannot run the current version using this hotkey. And do not know how to create a new hotkey which runs Microsoft Store WhatsApp ony my machine.

Can someone write me the correct hotkey definition, please? Thanks!

Reason: Topic moved from v2 help to v1 help, because this doesn't look like AHK v2 code.
