Hi, I would suggest to refer to this article for more detail why UWP apps can't be installed in WVD environment: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/windows-10-multisession-faq#how-do-i-make-sure-apps-don-t-disappear-when-users-sign-out

Why do my apps disappear after I sign out?

This happens because you're using Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session with a profile management solution like FSLogix. Your admin or profile solution configured your system to delete user profiles when users sign out. This configuration means that when your system deletes your user profile after you sign out, it also removes any apps you installed during your session. If you want to keep the apps you installed, you'll need to ask your admin to provision these apps for all users in your Windows Virtual Desktop environment.

How do I make sure apps don't disappear when users sign out?

Most virtualized environments are configured by default to prevent users from installing additional apps to their profiles. If you want to make sure an app doesn't disappear when your user signs out of Windows Virtual Desktop, you have to provision that app for all user profiles in your environment. For more information about provisioning apps, check out these resources:
