You didn't provided what you tried and what is the error you are getting.

In order to automate windows native application you need to use appium windows driver. Windows driver is appium implementation so you can use it like android or ios appium driver.

You can refer

• How to run native app on appium
• Driver specific documentation for set up and other driver specific requirements
• Sample working configuration.

EDIT: Below sample works fine:

Properties for setting capabilities

remote.port=4723
driver.name= appiumDriver

appium.additional.capabilities={"app":"C:\\Windows\\System32\\notepad.exe","driverClass":"io.appium.java_client.windows.WindowsDriver"}
#appium.capabilities.driverClass=io.appium.java_client.windows.WindowsDriver
#appium.capabilities.app=C:\\Windows\\System32\\notepad.exe

It worked well as normal web driver test without issue:

import static com.qmetry.qaf.automation.step.CommonStep.sendKeys;
import static com.qmetry.qaf.automation.util.StringMatcher.exact;
import static com.qmetry.qaf.automation.ui.webdriver.ElementFactory.$;

...

    @Test
    public void testCanEditInNotpad(){
        getDriver().verifyTitle(exact("Untitled - Notepad"));
        getDriver().findElementByClassName("Edit").sendKeys("it worked!...")
        $("className=Edit").sendKeys(" This also worked!...");
        sendKeys(" Common Step worked as well!...", "className=Edit");
    }
