Windows 10: This application has not been provisioned

Windows 10 64 Bit. - Within the last day or so I have been unable to view images stored on my hard drive. It consistently says 'this app has not been provisioned'. It has worked fine until now, and I haven't made any changes to the computer I know. Any ideas? Thank you

Issues with using Add-AppxProvisionedPackage to provision UWP app

I am currently trying to manage installation a line of business UWP application on a series of client machines. I need to make sure that the application is installed for any user that signs into windows on a particular machine. To do this I am copying the APPX file of the UWP app to a provisioning directory, and using this command to provision the application:

Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackagePath C:\myapp-provision -SkipLicense.

The application installs fine for users some/most of the time. However, I am running into a couple of issues fairly consistatnly.

1. Sometimes, after provisioning a new version of the application, when a new user signs into windows, they still see the previous version of the application installed.
   
2. Sometimes, after provisioning the application for the first time, when a new user signs into windows and searches for the app in the start menu, they get no results.
   

Both of these issues can be resolved by going to Apps & Features, searching for the application in list, selecting Advanced Options on the app, and then selecting reset.

This is an ok fix for the short term, but long term, I cant rely on users to always be aware that they may need to reset the app before using it.

Is there a better way I can go about getting this application installed for all users? Are there additional steps I am missing?

 

How to provision 1TB SSD for Linux from Windows

This is the first time I am both provisioning an SSD and attempting a Linux (CentOS) install.

So I have an unallocated 1TB Samsung EVO drive installed which I want to install Linux on.

I am booting into Windows 10 on my C: drive.

I've downloaded the Samsung Magician app but I can see NO options for provisioning the drive.(see picture)

I want to set up the following partitions

• /root: 15GB
  
• /swap: 8GB
  
• /home: remaining space
  

There is also a Windows 10 Disk management application but can’t see any options for defining /root or swap provisions.

Also, assuming I get the disk provisioned and Linux installed, are these SSD optimization suggestions worth applying as well?
