Open PowerPoint and then SaveAs-CodePudding

I am not programmer and I need help. I would like to script my daily task.

Open PowerPoint (.pptx format) - DONE
Press 'A' button to update numbers from Excel - DONE
Save PowerPoint (.pptx format) - Do not know how to do it
And then save PowerPoint again in .ppsx format and Close it - Do not know how to do it

How to do it please? I tried to create .ps1 script, but do not know how to continue.

There is my code:

Start-Process -FilePath "\\192.168.1.2\I\IT\Public\TV\NM\PrezentaceNM.pptx"

Start-Sleep -s 15

$wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell;
$wshell.SendKeys('A')

Start-Sleep -s 45

I moved little bit forward. Now I need to know how to add SaveAs and save it as ppsx. Any Idea? Current code:

Start-Process -FilePath "\\192.168.1.2\I\IT\Public\TV\NM\PrezentaceNM.pptx"

Start-Sleep -s 15

$wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell;
$wshell.SendKeys('A')

Start-Sleep -s 40

$wshell.SendKeys('^(s)')

Start-Sleep -s 15
