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

so my windows key started to not work lately. the only way it works is for pausing a youtube video.

a website told me that i should write this command in powershell to reset the key for it to work again.



i know that powershell is pretty powerfull, so im just checking to make sure i dont screw up my pc

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
