Question

Windows 10 20H2 remove-appxprovisionedpackage

Stan Kasper 1,476

Fresh install. Tried:
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -online | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage –online

When I ran the 2nd line it went through about 4 or 5 packages and then threw an error.

So I ran it again and it completed successfully.

Checked the event logs. Only found warnings.

Strange.

Checked log. Found following. SFC does not fix it. Would you recommend dism /clean--up image?

Hi,
[5560] [0x8007007b] FIOReadFileIntoBuffer:(1452): The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
From the error message, it seemed to be issue related to the filename and path. Since the event log did not record much useful info, it is suggested to capture more traces or dumps like procomon and so on for a deeper investigation, which you are recommended to contact Microsoft Customer Support and Services for a more satisfying explanation and solution to this issue.

Answer 2

Hi,
What kind of error and warnings you've got? The second command is to remove provisioned package from image.
After which, app packages will not be installed when new user accounts are created.

Answer 3

I am going to recreate the issue so that I can copy the error message that happens when get-appx runs. I was hoping something would be created in the event log but that was not the case. And again, if you run it twice the 2nd time it goes through removing all the apps without crashing. Will post error message once I capture it.

Thank you for your help. This issue occurs on a clean build of the current 20H2 ISO. It is of minor consequence and is probably already on the list of fixes for the next release. I appreciate help in
pointing me to the dism log. I will keep that in mind when troubleshooting any issues. Please close
the issue.
