Do you have an app execution alias (just a guess)? And is the task being launched from an account that has the app installed? – Peter Torr - MSFT Jan 21 '20 at 16:59

No alias now, Is it possible to trigger an exe under **C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.BingWeather_4.26.12153.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe** from task scheduler peter-torr-msft: @PeterTorr-MSFT – ThunderBird Jan 22 '20 at 09:01

Are you trying to launch your app or the Bing Weather app? – Peter Torr - MSFT Jan 26 '20 at 00:20

I have identified a workaround to achieve this. My actual requirement was 'I need to trigger an action in my Desktop bridged UWP app from windows scheduler' unfortunately windows scheduler has not read/write access to the uwp apps folder
The workaround was I have packaged a simple exe along with my UWP app package during first launch of the app the packaged exe will be copied to outside uwp sandbox, from the windows schedule I will execute this copied 'exe' say sample.exe and sample .exe will send a custom windows message to my UWP app.

The work around provided by thunderbird would work only with the Desktop Bridged UWP app. Native UWP app cannot do this way.
