Windows 10: How to link App to launch using device quick keys? IE Wacom Logitech

I have a Wacom device that lets me assign files to shortcut keys, but I'm trying to assign one of the keys to launch an App (not a standard program) and can't seem to figure it out. Apps don't all seem run from just a straight "Executable" file. I mean I'm able to find the executable for the apps by going through Task Manger > "Go to Details" (of selected running app) > "Open file location". However, some apps won't run just by double clicking the *.exe file. Some do, like the iTunes app, but others just respond with errors popping up about missing DLL files, and the like, even though they run perfectly fine when run through the start menu.
Id just try assigning a shortcut file for the app, but I can't even make shortcuts for apps that are installed from Microsoft app store.
Does anyone know how to locate or create a single file that will launch an app and can be assigned to a Wacom device, or other devices with customizable quick-keys?

Using my Wacom Tablet on Windows 10

Hello Hayley,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

From the description of the issue, I understand that Windows is unable to configure the drivers for Wacom driver.

I would suggest you to start afresh with the installation of the Wacom driver. Follow the below steps.

Step 1

Clean the temp folder to delete temporary files that are automatically created during the installation or uninstallation of any software application.

• Press the Windows + R keys simultaneously to initialize the
  Run command box.
• In the available field in the Run command box, type %TEMP% and press
  Enter.
• On the opened Temp folder, press Ctrl + A keys simultaneously to select all the contents of the folder and press delete key on the keyboard.
  
  Note: In case the operating system displays a message saying that any particular object cannot be deleted, skip the object from the deletion process and allow the windows to continue deleting the other contents of the folder.
• Once the TEMP folder is emptied, restart the computer to allow the changes to take effect.

Step 2

If you have the installation package for the Wacom driver, install the driver in compatibility mode. Please follow the below steps.

• 
  Right-click on the setup file and click on "Properties".
  
• 
  Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for” and select previous Operating System from the drop down.
  
• 
  Click on ‘Apply’ and click ‘OK’ and run the file to install it.
  

Please get back to us with the results and we would be happy to help you further.

Thank you.
