If anyone would like to test, you can simply replace C:\Program Files\WinBoat\scripts\apps.ps1' with the new one in /guest_server/apps.ps1`. Then hit refresh in WinBoat!

Sick feature, thanks for implementing it!

Just for correctness, could you verify this works on both W10 and W11, and see if all UWP apps that matter are displayed? E.g. Try downloading the Xbox app from MS Store.

Before, it was only able to get "global" apps, but now it is able to get  from all User

This is tested on Tiny10

It was unreliable to search for Executable file. Therefore I decided to utilize `explorer shell:AppsFolder`.

This also required me to change how launching work in `winboat.ts`. by default `/app:program` cannot run `explorer.exe ...` method due to the argument are not allowed. instead we needed to pass to `,cmd:`

I believe I have solved all the main problems. I have tried on both Tiny10 and Tiny11 and both function as expected. Let me know what else I can do. Thanks for the amazing project!

* UWP Discover System

- Ability to fetch UWP programs and their logo.

* Fixed - able to obtain apps as LOCAL_SYSTEM

Before, it was only able to get "global" apps, but now it is able to get  from all User

* Fixed - Able to launch from the shortcuts now.

It was unreliable to search for Executable file. Therefore I decided to utilize `explorer shell:AppsFolder`.

This also required me to change how launching work in `winboat.ts`. by default `/app:program` cannot run `explorer.exe ...` method due to the argument are not allowed. instead we needed to pass to `,cmd:`

* Made the launching application more robust.

Before, I simply split the command by " ". Now we will have dedicated arg field. Figured it'll be useful in the future like giving custom launching arg to an application

* Context Menu

* editing, saving custom app

* clean up

* Update Apps.vue

* Update Apps.vue

* More Filter Option
