I use the Apple Music beta app from the Microsoft store. I want it to start when I turn on my PC. I looked in the Task Manager, the app isn't shown there. I looked into the Startup Folder and tried to add the AppleMusic.exe file via a shortcut, but when this file is executed it says that this application requires a package identity. How do I make the App start automatically?

    Keep in mind that beta apps might have limited features or functionality, including startup options.

    1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
    2. Type shell:startup and press Enter. This will open the Startup folder.
    3. Right-click on an empty space in the folder and select New > Shortcut.
    4. In the Create Shortcut dialog box, type ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9P1P3VJX8Z9M in the Type the location of the item field and click Next.
    5. Type a name for the shortcut, such as “Apple Music Beta”, and click Finish.

    I found a solution! Easier than I thought. Read here: https://www.howtogeek.com/364263/how-to-open-windows-store-apps-on-startup-in-windows-10/ Or short, Win + R, type shell:appsfolder, Win + R, type shell:startup, then drag the Apple Music Application from the appsfolder to the startup folder. This creates a shortcut which will launch the App. Thank you for your answers!
