My question is within my powershell script, I'm getting this error even though the script still pushes to the users desktop...My error is within line 71 char: 5 and I'm unsure as to why? Any help with this would be awesome...Thanks

Hi Sekaita,



Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am sorry to know that you are facing issues with Windows 10.



I do appreciate your efforts and time, and will assist you with the issue.



Method 1

I suggest you to run CHKDSK and check if it helps.

• 
  Open an elevated Command Prompt (Press the Windows + X button at the same time, then choose Command Prompt (Admin)
  
• 
  Type the following command, and replace the X with the drive letter you wish to scan: “CHKDSK X:”
  we suggest you use “CHKDSK X: /F”, only then it can correct errors.
  
• 
  Hit the enter key, Command Prompt will now start CHKDSK.
  

Method 2

I also suggest you to run a PowerShell and check if it helps.



Step: 1 Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip:
Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.

Step: 2 Click File > Run New Task

Step: 3 make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative
privileges”

Step: 4 Type PowerShell

Step: 5 Type the following in the PowerShell prompt:

$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest

Step: 6 close the PowerShell window

Step: 7 Reboot



Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
