How to launch PE 2022 Editor directly? (MS Store version)
I have downloaded Photoshop Elements 2022 from the Microsoft Store. It is still a trial, but I have a problem: Whenever I click on its icon, the welcome screen appears, and I would like to open the editor directly, as I only use that, and I don't need anything else from the welcome screen.
Now, the problem is that even though I pin the editor itself to the taskbar, whenever I click on the icon the welcome screen appears, not the editor itself. This has worked well in Adobe's own version (trial), but not in the MS Store version.
I also tried to look for the editor's own exe file to pin that to the taskbar. The file, as it's a Store app, is installed at this path: "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\AdobeSystemsIncorporated.PhotoshopElements2022_1.70.0.0_x64__ynb6jyjzte8ga\VFS\ProgramFilesX64\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 2022\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe" However, the system doesn't allow launching it individually, even if I click on it, or pin that exe to the taskbar/desktop. It just doesn't allow access, even if I try to run it as an administrator.
So my question is: with the Microsoft Store version, is there no way to circumvent the unnecessary welcome screen and launch directly into the editor? It just means extra clicks and load times for me which is really unfortunate. If there's any trick to launch the editor directly I would be glad for it.
