Reinstall and Re-register Apps in Windows 10  

kokkolis said:

Hello All,

Just to let you know I have tried to run the scripts Safe Mode for current account (all apps) as well as for all user accounts (again all apps).

I booted in Safe Mode with network, opened Powershell as an administrator, pasted the command for current user first, and immediately got an error that reads "cannot , On both cases I got an error that reads "unable to start service in Safe Mode" -see screenshot attached..error is in greek but can assure you of exact translation.

Same error reads when I pasted the command for all users.. Now, it could a fault with my machine only, but thought to let you know anyway.

I use Windows 20175 (Dev ring).

Hello Freebooter, thank you for your message, which are the codes you have posted? Do you refer to codes in Option 1/2/3 on page 1 of this thread? How do I execute a file saved as .bat as batch script? And do I do it in Safe Mode?

Sorry, I 've got a lot to learn..

I should also mention I have tried to execute the code for specific apps as well (not just "all apps / current & all users")... in particular, I have also tried to execute the script for Store and Settings. So, logged in Safe Mode with Network, opened PoweShell as administrator, pasted the script and pressed Enter.

Same error (attached screenshot), though after the error PowerShell asked me to specify a path.

You can double-click the batch script to execute it visit below link. Execute the batch script from normal boot mode.

Reinstall all the Windows 10 Default Apps with Batch Script

Hi all,

I tried command

Code:

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

It works. However I would like to run from cmd via batch.

Code:

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

I fail with error below. Yeah I can use call PS script, but It is a little bit overkill have a PS script for this and allow running unsigned script etc.

Have somebody idea why batch file fail with the error

Code:

Add-AppxPackage : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '\AppXManifest.xml'.
At line:1 char:41
+ ... s| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $($_.In ...

You can have a look and use my batch script at post 150.

Some characters are reserved in the command line, including @ < > & | ^. Before you use these characters, you must escape them with the caret symbol (^).
