Remove store app (UWP) shortcut from App List?

Hi

Is that possible to remove a store app (UWP) shortcut from App List?

Where is their shortcut path?

Hi, the shortcuts shown for UWP apps are not stored in a manner at all resembling that used for traditional desktop programs.

See:
Removing Windows Apps sometimes leaves orphan "icons" in the startmenu

and try to understand that to see how you might approach this.

Not straightforward.

I know the dead shortcuts are about search DB (Cortana). The thread is about uninstalling store apps and isn't about renaming or moving (deleting) them from App List. Sometimes to remove left blue squares (store apps' icon box/container), we can reset the icon cache (it doesn't always work).

These apps (UWP) have two folders (as you know), one in the Windows directory and another in Program Files. In that folders (in each UWP main folder), there is a folder called "Assets" that Windows uses as the shortcut icons (PNGs inside the Assets folder). But we can't make a shortcut directly from that EXE file (which has no icon)!

Also, you can not remove the UWP entry from the "Startup" tab in Task Manager, even with a third-party app like Autorun. It seems they have no registry entry for the startup. I don't know how Windows handle it.

And thank you for your reply. Good luck.
