Greetings!

( a similar post like this was also posted on the Logitech Reddit - So far without a conclusive help )

A while ago, I thought about giving Starfield on PC a shot since it comes free with my Xbox Ultimate Subscription, but I immediately dropped that idea since it is one of those Games that installs as an UWP App which Logitech Options+ doesn't properly work with...
r/logitech - Logitech Options+ and proper UWP App support?
As can be seen with the above Screenshot - Options+ "recognizes" Starfield with a proper Name and Icon but being in game that profile does nothing - The Profile active while in game appears to be my default Windows 11 Profile when navigating the OS.

Attempting to selecting the actual Starfield.exe from the installation Folder will produce this error:
r/logitech - Logitech Options+ and proper UWP App support?
So, yea... Any ideas how to get UWP Apps recognized by Software like Logitech Options+? 🤔🤨

Run this command:
Code:
powershell "Get-StartApps | Sort-Object Name"

Whatever the [Name!App] field on the right is the true app name as Windows recognizes it. Don't ask why UWP apps are weird.
I believe the Store version of Starfield is:

BethesdaSoftworks.ProjectGold_3275kfvn8vcwc!Game

Googled for something else and found this post.
You need administrative permissions for opening the WindowsApps folder but I don't think that solves your problem.
As far as I know UWP apps are not supported by Logitech software. UWP apps are mostly hosted by another process and I guess Logitech didn't implemented the recognition and/or a concept to get the hosted app like yours.
