Windows 10: What does this code do? Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage...

Hello,

i just ran into the problem that i cant use the windows search bar.

Everytime i click to search i cant type anything or just one letter and the black search window closes. Tried to solve it by re - indexing (i dont remember exactly how its called) and by using standard troubleshooting and search-troubleshooting. Ran into a helpful video that said i should enter the code:

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

into the powershell.

I am pretty careful when it comes to the powershell...



So my question is, what exactly does this code do?



I also read that it could be a problem with my antivirus (using avg Antivirus Free). Could this be the problem?

Get-appxpackage -allusers does not seem to be working.

Let's say I do:
Get-appxpackage *onenote*
and
Get-appxpackage -allusers *onenote*

And I find there are entries for this product.

So, I run:
Get-appxpackage -allusers *onenote* | Remove-AppxPackage

And I find that the localuser does not have the package, but allusers does.

Something wrong with the way I'm doing it?

I _am_ using a powershell with elevated privileges.

 

PwrShell: Remove-AppxPackage & Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -AllUsers

Hello,
I would like to ask a couple of questions regarding PowerShell commands for App management (OS build 19041.450)

First: is there any difference between
Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.XboxApp* | Remove-AppxPackage
and
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers *Microsoft.XboxApp* | Remove-AppxPackage
if there is only one user on the computer?

Second: what is the difference between
Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackageName MyAppxPkg
and
Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -AllUsers -Online -PackageName MyAppxPkg

Thanks for any help,
Mark

 

Malformed PowerShell command Get-AppXPackage error

I have tried all of the suggested corrections for a start menu that is not working. The last command in the most reasonable suggestion uses as it's last two statements PowerShell and the one listed below. I have tried
this command several times, making sure there are no typing errors and every time I get the Error message below. Is there any way to repair the database disk image which is indicated as "malformed"?
