Reinstalling/Reregistering default apps only works for logged in user

Hello and good day everyone reading this

I have been struggling for some time now with the reinstallation of standard Windows 10 applications for all users. This is done using Powershell with local administrator rights and the following code:

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

The repair works perfectly for the user who is logged in and executes the code - no reboot necessary. However, all other accounts on the device still have corrupted standard applications, even after a reboot. Only one user is logged on at a time, Powershell is generally run with administrative privileges.

I have done some test runs with "User A" (local administrator) and "User B" (end user without administrative rights).

1. default applications of User A are corrupted
2. user A logs in to Windows
3. user A starts Powershell with administrative rights
4. user A enters the above code
5. default applications of User A are working again

1. default applications of user B are damaged
2. user B logs out, user A logs in to Windows
3. user A starts Powershell with administrative rights
4. user A enters the above code
5. user A logs out or restarts the device, user B logs in to Windows
6. standard applications of User B still do not work

1. default applications of user B are damaged
2. user B logs in to Windows
3. powershell is started with administrative rights and authenticated with User A.
4. user A enters the above code
5. default applications of User B still do not work (even after a reboot)

The "damage" is the same for both users. If User B's account is temporarily raised to the level of a local administrator, User B can successfully repair his own applications using Powershell - similar to the first test case of User A.
However, this procedure is not desirable. Apart from additional time, User B must be present or provide his personal password. Furthermore it is a matter of time until a downgrade of user B to a non-administrator account is forgotten...

It was my expectation and wish that a repair with the parameter "-AllUsers" would repair the default applications of all local accounts - do I get the parameter wrong?

More information:
- Windows 10 x64, Winver 1909
- "Damage" is provoked by deleting, renaming or moving the appdata folder of the respective profiles.
- Background: Renaming the Appdata folder was a very (!) popular method in the times of Windows 7 to quickly fix all kinds of problems without concrete error messages and without having to reset the local account entirely. Unwanted effects could be revised by moving specific folders from the "old" Appdata back to the new Appdata folder. If necessary, the whole process could be undone.
Since Windows 10, however, several standard applications (Photos, Calculator) are damaged during this process.


Can anyone provide any help or further insight in this matter?


I thank you in Advance and remain with best reagards
