ms-resource:APP_WINDOW_NAME

Question

Hello,

Recently our application management program has picked up the application ms-resource:APP_WINDOW_NAME on recent scans. Upon investigating the computer in question, it showed that the application is nowhere to be found. In attempts to remediate this issue, I have run the following command to register all windows store applications:

Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

This did not remove the program from our app management software. What can I do to help remove these items from our scans?

Answer 1

Hi, thank you for that information, if none will work from the above solution, I suggest doing an in-place upgrade wherein it will upgrade the device to the latest version and repair all issues without deleting any files.

Answer 4

Hello Bernard,

Thank you for the quick reply! I was running through the list of commands and found that I could not run the command:

Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\*.*"

This is the error I receive.

This is a Windows 11 Pro machine and I am using Administrative Powershell.
