Works with both versions of Windows 10 1511 and 1601
With Windows 10, lots of built-in apps (like the calculator) are now “Modern UI” apps. Other Modern UI apps (like Netflix) are a lot more useful now that you can run them in a window. There’s just one problem: There’s no obvious way to make shortcuts of these apps so you can put them on your desktop, or start them with an app like Launchy.
Luckily, there is a hidden way:
1. Open File Explorer and paste the following in the address bar:
%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{4234d49b-0245-4df3-b780-3893943456e1}
2. Press Enter. You should be greeted with a secret folder containing a bunch of random apps and actions.
3. Find the Modern app you want to create a shortcut to. Right-click on it and choose “Create shortcut”. It will show up on your desktop.From there, you can do whatever you want with the shortcut
