[Goldi GraceLara]

Reinstall preinstalled apps in Windows 10

Step1:

Copy the script below in notepad and save this as “reinstall-preinstalledApps.ps1” and save it on desktop.

# Get all the provisioned packages

$Packages = (get-item 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\Applications') | Get-ChildItem



# Filter the list if provided a filter

$PackageFilter = $args[0]

if ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($PackageFilter))

{

echo "No filter specified, attempting to re-register all provisioned apps."

}

else

{

$Packages = $Packages | where {$_.Name -like $PackageFilter}



if ($Packages -eq $null)

{

echo "No provisioned apps match the specified filter."

exit

}

else

{

echo "Registering the provisioned apps that match $PackageFilter"

}

}



ForEach($Package in $Packages)

{

# get package name & path

$PackageName = $Package | Get-ItemProperty | Select-Object -ExpandProperty PSChildName

$PackagePath = [System.Environment]::ExpandEnvironmentVariables(($Package | Get-ItemProperty | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Path))



# register the package

echo "Attempting to register package: $PackageName"



Add-AppxPackage -register $PackagePath -DisableDevelopmentMode

}





Step2:

◘ Next open an admin Windows Powershell, enter the following command and hit Enter:

CD C:\Users\username\Desktop

Remember to replace username with problematic user profile name.



◘ Now enter this command and hit Enter:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

This will temporarily allow unsigned PowerShell scripts to execute.



◘ Now type the following command and hit Enter:

.\reinstall-preinstalledApp.ps1

This will execute the script and all your default preinstalled Store apps will get reinstalled.

If you try to install an app that is already installed, it will be skipped without an error.

Now check if the app has been reinstalled and can be launched.



◘ Once you have done the job, re-enable enforcement for signed PowerShell scripts by typing executing the following command:

Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned
