Windows 11 AVD

Question

Hi, I was deploying Windows 11 multisession with M365 Apps and was using VMware Horizon optimization tool. After running the optimization tool, I realized some apps were missing like the common user used to use such as calculator, snipping tool and etc. Reinstalled it using the local admin frm MS store but upon logging in to the individual user account, we have install for that user. However when I query winget list it show snipping tool already installed. May I know how can we reinstall for all users like calculator and snipping tool

Regards,

Hi,

If you need these apps to be available for all users, you can follow these steps to reinstall them:

• Open PowerShell as an administrator on the Windows 11 Multisession vm
• you can run the following commands to restore the calculator app and snipping tool for all users running the following commands:**
  Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers *calc* | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}**

and

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

• After running these commands, the Calculator and Snipping Tool apps should be reinstalled and available to all users on the Windows 11 multisession VM.
