Launch Onenote UWP using Autohotkey

Question

I'm trying to launch onenote UWP from autohotkey but cannot pin down the specific exe file to launch. I ran the onenote uwp and found the name as Microsoft.Office.OneNote_17.7466.57691.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe and the location is C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Office.OneNote_17.7466.57691.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe. But using the following code, I opened the onenote 2016

#o::

run "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Office.OneNote_17.7466.57691.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe"

return

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks a lot!

If you have configured OneNote UWP to be your default app when clicking the onenote-cmd:// magnet link, you can write your AutoHotKey script to run this magnet link.

1. Configure OneNote UWP as your default app for opening a OneNote magnet link:

2. Open OneNote UWP with Windows+O:

#o::
Run, onenote-cmd://
return

3. Open a OneNote UWP Quick Note with Windows+N

#n::
Run, onenote-cmd://quicknote?onOpen=typing
return

Try this (untested):

Run, onenote:

EDIT:

You can also create a shortcut of this app to run it this way from your script:

#o:: Run, %A_Desktop%\OneNote.lnk

Thanks for your reply! I tried this method and it opened up onenote 2016. I guess that's because I set onenote 2016 as the default app for notes. So I guess "onenote" opens the default app, do you know a specific command that can invoke Onenote UWP? – Jason Oct 29 '16 at 17:47
is there a way to programmatically launch a Universal App? – jayongg Oct 31 '16 at 18:39
Not that I know of. – user3419297 Oct 31 '16 at 19:17

@jayongg, the final solution I do is setting onenote UWP as the default app for .one file and url link, that solves my problem in most of the cases.... – Jason Nov 04 '16 at 05:03

This code worked for me:

Run, onenote-cmd:// ; this opens windows 10 OneNote.

And this code works for opening OF365 OneNote:

Run, onenote ; opens OF365 OneNote
