Get Calculator back
I have accidentally removed the Windows Calculator from my image, using the virtual desktop optimization tool. How do i get it back in my image and hosts, for all users? I can manually install it, after enabling the right services and logging in to the store as a user, but then the calculator is only available for that user. Need some help 🙂
If you've accidentally removed an appx using the WVD optimization tool and MS Store doesn't work for you follow this:
- Go here to get the appx bundle. Microsoft Store - Generation Project (v1.2.1) [by @rgadguard & mkuba50] (rg-adguard.net)
- This site exposes the appxbundle and dependencies of MS Store apps.
- Input the URL of the MS Store Appx into the search.
- You can get the Store URL from the AppxPackages.json file from the WVD Optimization Configuration Files folder.
- For example- Groove is:
- "AppxPackage": "Microsoft.ZuneMusic",
- "VDIState": "Disabled",
- "URL": "https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/groove-music/9wzdncrfj3pt
Example and will look like this:
Download a recent .appxbundle. you only need the most recent.
It shows the dependencies but most likely the are already on the WVD so start with appxbundle
It will download as a long guid. Copy the name/url from the site on the left and rename the downloaded guid to the url name:
Run powershell with admin credentials and run DISM:
DISM.EXE /Online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:c\temp\Microsoft.ZuneMusic_2019.18052.11112.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appxbundle /SkipLicense
Warning: if you run just add-appxpackage it won’t install for all users.
