How to launch my application through winappdriver?

I am new to the WinAppDriver Windows Based Automation. Kindly help me to launch my windows application through winappdriver.

String applicationPath = System.getProperty("user.dir")+"/Data/TestData/StudioSetup.exe";
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("app", applicationPath);
WindowsDriver driv = new WindowsDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723"), capabilities);

It launches my application, but it takes long time to open the window. In the meanwhile, it throws the below exception in the 4th line: -

org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Unable to create a new remote session. Please check the server log for more details. Original error: Failed to locate opened application window with appId: C:\Users\Peenu\git\Uptime/Data/TestData/StudioSetup.exe, and processId: 7208 (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)
Command duration or timeout: 7.17 seconds

The application path is incorrect. Copy the path of your exe file using these steps:

Go to the application folder

Press the SHIFT key and right click the application icon

Select "Copy as path" from context menu

Now go back to your code and paste this value there.

Put an @ before the string

For example, the path to notepad looks like the following.

@"C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe"

See if this works

    Process.Start(@"<WinappDriver.exe path>");
    DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
    capabilities.SetCapability("deviceName", "WindowsPC");
    capabilities.SetCapability("app", @"<Path to application.exe>");
    BasePage.WindowsDriver = new WindowsDriver<WindowsElement>(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723"), capabilities);
    Thread.Sleep(10000);    //Uncomment if required 
    BasePage.WindowsDriver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5);

This worked for me:

AppiumOptions appOptions = new AppiumOptions();

appOptions.AddAdditionalCapability("app", "PATH TO YOUR EXE");
appOptions.AddAdditionalCapability("deviceName", "WindowsPC");
appOptions.SetLoggingPreference(OpenQA.Selenium.LogType.Server, OpenQA.Selenium.LogLevel.All); //optional

WindowsDriver<WindowsElement> driv = new WindowsDriver<WindowsElement>(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723"), appOptions);
