Windows 10: Windows.MiracastView Error?

I've started getting the Windows.MiracastView error shown below after the FCU. Have you any ideas what this is due to and how to fix it?

As you can see, Windowsstore is not present in the list of package.

It is normal because I have removed the package with: Remove-ProvisionedAppxPackage -Online

After this I have realised a sysprep, and I have started a new VM with this Windows image.

So my user account is created after the package has been removed before sysprep.

The solution is maybe to use the command: Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage

But I don't know where to find the Windows store package.

Thank you.

Regards,

Yes getting it here as well, found it yesterday while checking event viewer.

Ran Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth last night and no further entries since.

I had this error too, and running the RestoreHealth command made no difference.
All attempts to uninstall Miracast manually all failed too.
I eventually got rid of the error messages by going here -
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\Deleted\EndOfLife
There was an entry for the Miracast app there, which showed just how many times the system had tried to remove it, so it looks as if the system was trying to delete it on boot as "End of Life" for some reason.
I deleted its entry, and the errors went away.
Why it's trying to delete Miracast I have no idea, I can only assume it's because my system doesn't support it.
Anyway, although it appears in the apps list when viewed with Powershell, and says it's OK, there is no installed folder listed (it should be in C:\Windows\Miracast, which doesn't exist on my system) so I've no idea what its status actually is.
Anyway it doesn't seem to be doing any harm, and at least the error messages have now gone away, let's hope they stay that way!
Cheers, Dave.

Good tip. I had those entries and deleted them. I'll check what happens.

 

Miracast are used to connect to devices such as a smart TV or other devices via Wi-Fi!

It has been supported by Windows up to the Fall Creators version. There are other ways of connecting wireless to devices.

Only mobile phones or smart TV's that need Miracast, will be in for a problem, if it's not there!

I have made a back-up of the Miracast folder and the shortcut in start menu, just to be save.
