Adding a Windows Store Application to the Circle Dock
« on: September 29, 2020, 08:49 AM »
Hi, how do I add a Windows App Store Application to the Circle Dock Utility please? Have you any idea how I go about this since I can't find the EXE file to link to from within Windows and I cna't access the Windows App Store folder within windows as it seems locked to me even though I'm an administrator.

Any help you can offer is appreciated.

This might be a bit more useful if not a bit more complicated:

Right click on app & create shortcut on desktop (if its not already there) then drag the shortcut into the dock. Works for apps created by chromium based browsers for websites too (eg Netflix, Facebook, YouTube etc)
