In any case, I don't see a reason to separate them. What would be the use 🤔 Thanks to @MattyD we now have proper code With this you can get the path to: "Microsoft.WindowsNotepad_8wekyb3d8bbwe" or "Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe" or anything else from the windows store. If you feel this should be different, say it. Am not a magician ( well, maybe flowers out of a stick but that's unrelated to the topic ).
