Windows 10: Reinstall and Re-register Apps in Windows 10

I tried option 1 step 3 from the tutorial but got this error:

powershell error 2 — imgbb.com

What to do now?

 

Hello draggie8, *Smile

It looks like you didn't have the full command pasted in PowerShell.

 

Are you sure? I just copied the whole command for the second time and have no idea what I did wrong then... The deployment operation progress thing is just running and all, but after that I get this error... So what do I have to do?

Thanks in advance mate.. Would really appreciate if you could help me out!

 

It looks like you left off the part in red below.

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

 

Still doesn't work...

 

It's normal to get an error like that for each app that no longer exists.

How does using the command below for current user only work for you instead?

Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

 

When I try that command, it says the following:





Thought that I might try to close this one:





But with the same result in powershell

 

Is there a specific app you were trying to reset or having an issue with?

 

Yes there is.. Windows store is greyed out, doesn't show images.. Only grey tiles..

 

If you haven't already, you might see if resetting the Store using the method in the tutorial below may help.

Already tried that, without result... Problem solver for windows store doesn't do anything either... Very frustrating

 

In that case, you could try a repair install if you like.

I just think that a repair install wouldn't do anything because my laptop is brand new.. But if you think it could still be useful, I could give it a try of course...

 

I get the same problem. It seems that Powershell interprets
"$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"

as C:\AppXManifest.xml instead of the individual apps folders.

 

Hello thewizardoz, *Smile

The location of AppXManifest.xml for the app will depend on where the app's package is installed (if still installed). Usually, the not found apps (uninstalled) will show as "C:\AppXManifest.xml"

Looking at the screenshot below, you can compare the paths between the successful and not found ones.
