I need to launch Microsoft default app Calendar(outlookcal:) with selected date ( ex. 01/01/2020) and Calculator(ms-calculator:) with expression/calculation (2*3=) from UWP. I am using Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri()) for app launch from *.cs.

For Bing maps with location I was using "bingmaps:?where=location" as protocol uri & Bing maps is opened in the location set by me. I was looking for something like this for Calendar & Calculator app. Is there anything for Calendar & Calculator?

Can someone please help me?

Universal Windows Platform (UWP)

    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

    Currently, neither the calendar nor the calculator app disclose how to call its Uri schema. So currently you cannot specify the startup method and initialization behavior of the application through Uri.

    Thanks.
