It is possible to launch uwp app without installing


Is there anyway to launch Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app without installing it? I want to launch uwp app from the unpacked appx folder but IDK how. As far as I know there's just one way to open uwp app it's install it then open it...

  • I want to launch uwp app from the unpacked appx folder but IDK how.

    It is not possible to do that. Unlike some desktop apps that could be directly launched from a .exe file, UWP apps needs to be deployed or installed first like @Simon Mourier mentioned. UWP can't directly launched by the appx file.
