Description
The Get-AppxLog cmdlet gets the app package installation log created during the deployment of
an app package. An app package has an .msix or .appx file extension. The log contains errors,
warnings, and additional information about the processes initiated by cmdlets in the Appx Windows
PowerShell module.
When Add-AppxPackage or Remove-AppxPackage report a failure, they return the ActivityID to
use with Get-AppxLog.
