Get-AppxPackage -allusers | foreach {Add-AppxPackage -register “$($_.InstallLocation)\appxmanifest.xml” -DisableDevelopmentMode}
You need to add the backslash behind appxmanifest, I had it come up with ItemNotFound for all apps.
The above fixed it for me.

I just fixed the issue. Thanks for sharing your observation. 🙂

THANKS FOR SOME REASON THE SEARCHUI.EXE WAS REMOVED THANKSSSSSSSSSS
-
this is a good article for those wanting to re-install for the currently logged on user. Any other new user profile that logs on to the win10 box will not have access to the app.
-
God bless you u very much. It has been my greatest headache bringing back removed apps on my windows 10..But with ur guide I’ve been able to do it with ease. Thank you
-
It worked! Your clear and accurate advice is greatly appreciated.
-
removing apps for all users:
Get-AppxPackage -allusers | foreach {Remove-AppxPackage -allusers -package $_}
and after that, you surely can’t add packages pack with that your add all back line because none user has those packages, so you can’t list get-packages which to add. you have to list those packages in manifest or something which tells all the default packages, and add them all to all users by somehow.. not sure yet how to do that..

Nothing of the above helped.

in my case it says that ths poweshell is runnin so it cannot be modified

Does not work. Powershell downloads but fails to install apps because newer versions are already installed.
-
Thank you, you fixed my problem. One quick command which does what it should. GREAT. Wish all guides were as useful as this one.
-
Thanks!

When I run the command, I get the error message 0x80073cf9. Help?
-
Thanks!! Full name package install was the needed lock combination. Once I figured out how to enable ‘Run as Administrator’ on the PowerShell (with a Right click – clever, sneaky devils), I entered the complete code and voila! my apps were back. Wish I had backed up all my lost contacts, notes, etc. 🙁

sir/maam
thank you very much. this info was very useful and it helped my computer to use the non working apps again..
THANK YOU… -
Worked! I had removed xbox overlay and not only got an annoying pop up when trying to play games, but also i wanted to use the game bar! This brought it back and fixed the errors , thank you!
-
Thank you for the method that you have shown above,it helped me to resolve my problem but there is a mistake in the command that you have given
Get-AppxPackage -allusers | foreach {Add-AppxPackage -register $($_.InstallLocation)appxmanifest.xml” -DisableDevelopmentMode}
here in the above command you have missed the starting qoutes before $ i.e, the correct command is as below
Get-AppxPackage -allusers | foreach {Add-AppxPackage -register “$($_.InstallLocation)appxmanifest.xml” -DisableDevelopmentMode}
Thank you.
-

I have tried every way to get the apps to run. For some reason the Movie app stopped. When I start it up it comes on and vanishes in a split second. As does store and solitaire collection. I tried this fix and it now comes on for about 3 seconds then stops again. Please help. Laptop only 1 month old.

After updating from Office 10 to Office 13, all my win10 apps went missing. I tried you script to install them again, but no dice, they are not showing up. Any suggestions except install Win 10 again. I have the latest latest update with creators version X64 Pro.
Thanks Tom-
They are still on the computer and can be seen in the list of applications and even run from their. I can drag them back to the display window and they will then show up.

I uninstalled mail and calendar app with this powershell method. I did it just to reset it as i was trying to change my microsoft account email. When i entered the command to reinstall all apps as shown above and rebooted my pc the mail app came back but almost all the other built in apps lost their path or something, they won’t run anymore anymore.
