Windows 10 Roaming Profiles and Store Apps

Question

Thursday, February 27, 2020 7:03 PM

I work for IT in a school where we use roaming profiles and appdata for the staff. The problem we are running into is with all of the default store apps (calculator, sticky notes, snip & sketch etc.) are disappearing for each user after a few logins. Deleting their profile and appdata from the server will bring these apps back for a day or two but then once again they will disappear. I have also tried using the powershell command to register the apps again:

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

After running this the apps will show back up for that user just like as if I delete the profile and it will work for a day or two again until they decide to disappear. Also, after running this the apps will show up for that user but if I am to log out and log in as another user with a roaming profile the apps will still be gone. I have been trying everything I can think of and I am hoping someone else has had this issue. So far I have not had much luck browsing forums and such looking for this. Thank you for any help you can give

We are running Windows 10 Education 1903

Hi, 

Try to run command line "gpresult /h c:\gp.html" as administrator to check if any roaming profile related group policy applied on domain environment. Such as "Delete cached copies of roaming profiles” “allow deployment operations in specified profiles”.
