How to automatically run a third party Windows 10 Store App on Windows-Start-Up after log in

Question

What I want to achieve is: To run a third party Windows 10 Store App, after a user logged in into his Windows 10.

I've discovered already how to start “Bing News” Store app at start up after user logged in 3 steps. Thanks to instantfundas.

Shortly explained the 3 steps: 1: Locate in Windows Registry - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes[app-name] and check if it contains a “URL Protocol” in the format “URL:appname”. for example: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\bingnews

2: Create a Shortcut on the desktop to that app: %windir%\System32\cmd.exe /c start "" "App's URL Protocol name:" for example: %windir%\System32\cmd.exe /c start "" "bingnews:"

3: Copy the Shortcut into the startup folder: C:\Users{the user}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Unfortunately, the third party apps are not shown in this Windows Registry... *HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes*

I want to start the third party app Nu.nl

(I know about Kiosk mode, but this is not the solution I want to end up.)

Anybody any ideas?
