Add Windows Store and UWP titles to Steam’s library using the UWPHook launcher.
About UWPHook
UWPHook links Windows Store and UWP apps to Steam, which cannot see UWP apps on its own. It scans the PC for installed UWP apps, lets users select entries, edit names, and export them to Steam, then shows the UWP game in Steam's "Currently playing" status while playing after Steam is restarted.
Steam Overlay does not work with these titles, and the site notes problems with Steam Link input and Steam Controller support.
