How does it work? Well, if you haven’t created a Microsoft account already, create one. Initially a invitation-only campaign, any user who creates a Microsoft account can now use Game Pass. That means even Linux and Chromebook users can reap the benefits of playing any game available on Xbox Game Pass through their browser. Microsoft announced earlier this week that, in addition to Windows 10, Xbox consoles, and smartphones/tablets, the Xbox Game Pass is now available through Chrome/Chromium-based web browsers. Besides, the full application ID is not even visible in the dialog, and there is no way to easily grab it from there.If you’re frustrated with the burdensome process of trying to obtain a ninth-gen console ( or gpu!) due to the silicon shortage that just never seems to go away, Xbox Game Pass for PC could be your ticket out of that hassle. There is the application ID, but it would be insufficient to paste it in the Stream Deck configuration UI to start the app - it will do nothing. Right-clicking on the shortcut gives a clue for what I need to look for to do an application launch: But is there an alternative, that does not require me to deal with shortcuts? Right-clicking on the icon and creating a shortcut (it will default to Desktop) will easily allow me to point Stream Deck software to it and launch the application. What if we try a bit of a hack with shell:AppsFolder? I can’t even point the tool to a shortcut that launches a Windows Store application. Unlike your typical executable, Windows Store applications do not have an EXE file you can point Stream Deck to, and it won’t run shell commands out-of-the-box. This is a bit of a problem, because I use several apps in that category - Spotify, Trello, and Slack, to name a few. Apparently it can do everything but launch Windows Store applications. Literally with a click of a button I can kick off a bunch of automation. I just recently got a Stream Deck - it’s a wonderful tool to automate some of the more boring (read: routine) tasks.
