Windows 10 WindowsApp as a service

[papermoon1978]

Hi!

Short version

How to give the local system account access to an app from the MS Store installed by another user ?

Long version

I'm using Python 3.8 from the MS Store and want to execute it as a Windows service running under the local system account (for sake of completeness I developed a Python script in a Python venv and with the help of nssm (non sucking service manager) I registered it as a service). When I start the service, the local system account has no access to my app. All works fine with the Python setup from www.python.org but I cannot find a way to solve this with the app from the MS Store. Any hints? Sure I could use the python.org-setup and sure I could also assign my own "normal" Windows user to the service, but I just want to know if there is a way with the local system account.

If it requires any type of network access the SYSTEM account won't work unless you supply network credentials within the app. I would stay away from the MS store and just use the desktop version.
