 #### Windows App Store apps
 
-If you have your Electron-based app in the Windows Store and would like to include auto launch functionality, simply linking to the executable path will not work. The Appx packages required for Electron are sandboxed and the install location can only be accessed by the system itself. 
-
-There is a way to bypass that - it will require you to know the developer ID, app ID and package name of your app. Then, instead of using the exec path, you will need to set the path in `AutoLaunch()` config to: `explorer.exe shell:AppsFolder\DEV_ID.APP_ID!PACKAGE_NAME`. You can find your apps details by following [this article](http://winaero.com/blog/exclusive-how-to-start-a-modern-app-from-desktop-without-going-to-the-metro-start-screen/). Note that you might need to compile and submit your app to the store first to obtain these details.  
+It requires some extra steps:
+ - Install a beta version on your Windows device from Microsoft Store
+ - Go to Windows apps folder: press `Win+R` and type `shell:AppsFolder`
+ - Right-click and create shortcut on Desktop
+ - Right click on the shortcut and check properties
+ - Find *target* field and copy the content. That will be the auto-launch path
+
+Example: `new autoLaunch({  name: 'APP_NAME', path:"DEV_ID.APP_ID!PACKAGE_NAME", isHidden: true })`
