You can use the following PowerShell command:

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

Answer 2

Hi @Kuljusteri

''Get-AppxPackage'' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.''

This error can occur because:

1. PowerShell is not running as an administrator。
2. You have disabled or corrupted some services that are required for the cmdlet to work. These services include Client License Service (ClipSVC) and AppX Deployment Service (AppXSVC). Win+R enter “services.msc“. You can check their status and enable them.

Hope the information is helpful.
