Reinstall and Re-register Apps in Windows 10  

Brink said:

It's normal to get an error like that for each app that no longer exists.

How does using the command below for current user only work for you instead?

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

I get the same problem. It seems that Powershell interprets
"$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"

as C:\AppXManifest.xml instead of the individual apps folders.

Hello thewizardoz, :)

The location of AppXManifest.xml for the app will depend on where the app's package is installed (if still installed). Usually, the not found apps (uninstalled) will show as "C:\AppXManifest.xml"

Looking at the screenshot below, you can compare the paths between the successful and not found ones.

Ok, so that's why C:\AppXManifest.xml not being found shows up in red in Powershell. Thanks. :)

When I try to install Photos, i got this error

help, after update from 1607 to 1709 some of shortcut are missing
including Store, Xbox, Minesweeper
I have tried both option on front page, nothing works.

I still can trigger Store to pop up by open app link on web browser. And I still can open Minesweeper via Store.

what should I do if I got this error?

Hello AMZMA, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)

You might see if doing a repair install may be able to fix this for you.

wow, that's a fast response, sir.
And just realized that was my first comment.

I'l come back later after I try this method. Would take a long time to repair windows from ISO.

I'm sorry, but this method didn't work.
I even tried to reset Start Menu, but nothing to avail.

I guess, I'll just leave this problem unsolved since I rarely use Windows Store.

Thank you for your advices.
