Where are the Store Apps in the registry

Question

I went yesterday to disable an App Store App from auto starting. No problem with

--> Settings
--> Apps
--> Startup

But before I did that, I got curious and check the registry and could not find it. I also checked with SysInternals AutoRuns and I could not find it either.

For us purists, where was it the registry?

Answer 1

Yes, we can’t find out the Store Apps in the registry.

Only tradition desktop apps can be added in startup with the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
But if you want to add an app installed from the Windows Store to Startup, you cannot use traditional methods.
Refer to this article to place shortcut in a special shell folder.
