                                                              ^
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape

if I put r its showing no such file or directory

Answer 1

The issue is with the path("C:\Users\Sumit\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams.exe"). In Python source code, specific Unicode code points can be written using the \U escape sequence, which is followed by eight hex digits giving the code point.

But you have in your path \U with eight non hex digits(Which is causing this SyntaxError)

C:\Users\

So one way to solve this by using r(raw strings).

>>> import os 
>>> os.startfile(r"C:\Users\Sumit\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams.exe")
