Hi, in doing some testing on our image and I uninstalled many unwanted/unneeded apps an by running these cmds:
Remove-AppxPackage -package PackageFullName
followed by
Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online -packagename.PackageFullName
The above cmds work great, but the problem is I am not able to reinstall the app and have it open.
Using Microsoft.Windows.Photos as an example. I've tried various cmds with Add-AppxProvisionedPackage and Add-appxpackage but the best I am able to get Microsoft.Windows.Photos reinstalled, but it never launches. It closes in a second.
If I try to install the Microsoft.Windows.Photos from the app store everything works fine.
Is there any way to get this app installed using powershell?

If you can find them in Windows Store, reinstall the apps from there.

Use this tutorial

If you ONLY want 1 or 2 apps reinstalled, use Option Two.****

Thanks, but the problem is that the installlocation is empty for the application I want to reinstall.
The folders for the app in app in question is no longer found in C:\program files\windowsapps
I've added the folder back from the install.wim but the app never launches.

What if the Windows Store is the app that is missing from the "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" folder?

You need the "Inbox Apps" ISO from the volume licensing centre, for the build in question. Extract that somewhere, then use DISM to re-install the Store from its .appxbundle file:
dism.exe /online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /packagepath:[path to extracted \iso]\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appxbundle /skiplicense /norestart /quiet
(NB, I've not actually tried this with the Store as we currently disable that rather than actually removing it. We have done it with other built-in apps such as Onenote though, and the appxbundle file for the store is on the Inbox Apps ISO.)
