A simple way to open Windword.exe

Question

Hi,
is there s simple way to open winword, in the past I used "Process.Start("WinWORD.EXE", LT05_In_File)"

Also is there a way to program to allow "broadFileSystemAccess" without going to 'settings-privacy-filesystem' manually

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

There's no API to open Microsoft word app in UWP directly. You could use Launcher.LaunchFileAsync method to open an existing file to launch the word app. You could use FileOpenPicker or get the file directly from the local folder. You can download this TXT file to check it.

Thanks.
