Windows 10: AppxPackages AND AppxProvisionedPackages.

Good afternoon.

Question 1:

I have written a PowerShell script to remove AppxPackages AND AppxProvisionedPackages.

However, the following do NOT get removed [even run as the Built-In Administrator] . . .

Microsoft.Advertising.XamlMicrosoft.MicrosoftEdgeMicrosoft.Services.Store.EngagementMicrosoft.Window s.CloudExperienceHostMicrosoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManagerMicrosoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost

The error messages I receive for the User are . . .

Microsoft.Advertising.Xaml_10.1808.3.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps AND Microsoft.BingWeather currently depends on the framework.

Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_44.18362.387.0_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbweThis app is part of Windows and cannot be uninstalled on a per-user basis.An administrator can attempt to remove the app from the computer using Turn Windows Features on or off.

Microsoft.Windows.CloudExperienceHost_10.0.18362.387_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewyThis app is part of Windows and cannot be uninstalled on a per-user basis. An administrator can attempt to remove the app from the computer using Turn Windows Features on or off.

Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_10.0.18362.387_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewyThis app is part of Windows and cannot be uninstalled on a per-user basis. An administrator can attempt to remove the app from the computer using Turn Windows Features on or off.

The Built-In Administrator is the SAME except for the Microsoft.Advertising.Xaml which appears to have been removed!

How can I remove these please?

Question 2:

What exactly are these and can I disable them? . . .

Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin
AppConnector
Windows.ImmersiveControlPanel

Thanks in advance.

Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online

Hello,

If you removed all apps and lost the Windows Store app as well, Powershell has the ability to retrieve it. For us to assist you with this concern, kindly follow the steps below:

• Right click the Windows icon and run PowerShell as Administrator.
• Type the following command on the Powershell and press Enter:
  • Get-Appxpackage -Allusers
• On the list, locate the Microsoft.WindowsStore entry and look for the text PackageFileName.
• Run this PowerShell command and replace the ****** with the PackageFileName from the list:
  • Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\******\AppxManifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode
• After pressing Enter, this will reinstall Windows Store. Close your Powershell and restart your computer to check.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

I found suggestion on MS forums that could work. Did you tried this?

 

Mail app will not open on 10041.


Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)
