I want to make my own hot key for Window's 10 Snip & Sketch. I have it installed on my OS and I can run it from the search menu. However, I can not find the app location of it. Anyone know where it lives?

The Windows 10 Snip & Sketch App is a Microsoft Store (UWP) App, so it does not have a traditional ".exe" file or location that can be accessed to create a hotkey.

If you want to create a Hotkey to a UWP App (eg. Snip & Sketch), the easiest way is:

1. Type Shell:Appsfolder in file explorer's address bar or from the Run dialogue (Win+R)

This will open the "virtual" start menu apps folder for us to work with.

2. Locate the App (eg. Snip & Sketch), right click and select "Create shortcut." Allow the shortcut to be placed on Desktop.
3. Right click on shortcut, enter properties and customize shortcut key.
