Fix Windows App Store

[Guest Joe WA]

I have a coworker, who with good intensions, decided to deploy a script in an SCCM task sequence to remove ALL AppX packages. I know he was only trying to rid a fresh build of all suggested apps, like Candy Crush, etc., but it has the undesirable affect of removing Calculator and remove the capability of installing any additional apps from the App Store.

 

Here's the script that was run:

Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -online | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -onlineGet-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage

 

I've tried everything to get this functionality back with no avail. I have attempted the steps outlined on this page:

https://www.intowindows.com/how-to-reinstall-store-and-other-preinstalled-apps-in-windows-10/

 

Multiple sites show this command, which didn't correct the issue:Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

 

I even attempted an "in place upgrade" of 1903 over 1903. I have corrected our task sequence, but there are now 20 PC's deployed and I'd like to figure out how to reverse this without having to recall those devices and reimagine them.

 

Thanks,

Joe
