There is the application ID, but it would be insufficient to paste it in the Stream Deck configuration UI to start the app - it will do nothing. Right-clicking on the shortcut gives a clue for what I need to look for to do an application launch: But is there an alternative, that does not require me to deal with shortcuts? Right-clicking on the icon and creating a shortcut (it will default to Desktop) will easily allow me to point Stream Deck software to it and launch the application. What if we try a bit of a hack with shell:AppsFolder? I can’t even point the tool to a shortcut that launches a Windows Store application. Unlike your typical executable, Windows Store applications do not have an EXE file you can point Stream Deck to, and it won’t run shell commands out-of-the-box. This is a bit of a problem, because I use several apps in that category - Spotify, Trello, and Slack, to name a few. Apparently it can do everything but launch Windows Store applications. Literally with a click of a button I can kick off a bunch of automation. Don’t want it.I just recently got a Stream Deck - it’s a wonderful tool to automate some of the more boring (read: routine) tasks. As with any UI it’s a multitude of factors. Even pressing through those selections is challenging. And the entire screen having one artist with 5 videos/songs as my entire selection view is very limiting.

This new interface takes away all the navigation and discovery dimensions or use cases. I can see a scared product team running in with a PowerPoint called “Tik tok is taking over” and so everyone just “did til tok”.

And you certainly have less passion or even might I say dependency for what you are seeking in that app. You don’t always go in looking for anything. tik tok is serving mindless junk food you didn’t know to begin with. I’m all for innovating on the discovery experience but this misses most consumer insights about music taste, knowledge, search etc. This new Tik tok like interface is significantly worse than the previous version. And I’ve literally never commented on any product update for any product update ever.

I’ve gotta be one of your heaviest users.
