Basically, i bought the steel series Headphones and I would like a certain profile to load when I open the Groove Music App but the issue is I can't find the Exe of it anywhere! So could someone give me path to the .exe so I can tell the software to launch the profile when I launch that app please.

Windows 10 Modern apps like Groove Music and Mail are not executable files. They are .appx programs that run in the Metro interface. This makes them platform-agnostic - back when Windows 8 RT was around, apps would function between both Windows 8 RT and "real" Windows 8. Apps are typically contained in a certain process that is the same name no matter what app is being run.

Long story short, you unfortunately can't do what you're trying to do with your headphones' software.

well damn well ur a lot more help than microsoft thanks loads
 
You can create a .bat file that you can use to run your profile just like as an .exe file

1. Create a playlist in windows media player and name it 'playlist' (you can add any songs to the playlist if you want it to instantly play as you open the app with the profile)

The file aut to be in C:\Users\(User Name)\Music\Playlists

2. Right Click on the file, drag mouse to "Open with" and click on "Choose another app", select Groove Music and select "Always use this app to open .wpl files"

3. Create a .txt file anywhere on computer by right clicking and selecting "New" and "text document"

4. Copy this text into the text document: start C:\Users\(User Name)\Music\Playlists\"playlist.wpl"

5. Remember to change (User Name) into your own computer's User name in the text that you copied above (or use the location of where you saved the playlist file if saved in another location as named above)

6. Change the .txt file to a .bat file

7. Set profile to open the .bat file and it will open the launched app Groove Music

(you can move the .bat file wherever desired)
 


You're a bloody genius. Cheers.
 


Really clever, Thanks a lot!! However it's not working with Steelseries Engine 3, it doesn't recognizes .bat files
=/
 


But you can create a .exe file from the .bat one, with Bat To Exe tool or simply programming yourself an exe file compiling a c++ one that does the same things it does the bat with Dev C++ or Visual Studio for example...
