Silly Question? Launch an app on MS store?

forgotmyname

OK im stumped, installed an app from the MS store how do i launch it without having an internet connection and having to goto the store using a browser and launching it from there.

Searched the entire drive and its not found?

Where is it hiding?

Thanks

Installed on what device? On a Windows 10 computer you'd simply type the app name into the Cortana box and it would find it wherever it's been installed.

And it should also be listed in the Start menu if it's installed correctly if you want to scroll to it.

Yes windows 10 desktop. Cortana? whats Cortana? 1st thing i dumped.

Nope not in the programs menu of folders. I had a look in the folders and nothing installed there. They have dumped it elsewhere.

Searching for the app name though finds nothing. But i can launch it using the store. It knows its installed and says launch. Click that and it works.

Where are they hiding the apps?

Apps are stored in "My Library"
Open the Store > click username(beside searchbox) > select My Library

Where they hide all the slurped data and secret recording of everything you've ever done on the Windows device of course!

But you need net access for that dont you? How do you launch it without net access?
