I swear i NEVER comment on videos but THIS? THIS has saved me from so many hours trying to figure out why the Xbox app was not downloading and kept getting an error code!!! I tried NUMEROUS amount of different ways to try and fix it and nothing worked. 5th hour in i was going to give up then remembered that you can force download apps via command prompts! Came across your video, did everything step by step and BOOM! Finally have the app installed after 5 long pain staking hours!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS MY GUY!!!
I’m having problems with my xbox app and have tried this method but when I download the file using the adguard command prompt I just get black screened with the xbox logo. Which app file did you force download? Is it the 305mb file you force download?
Legend mate! P.S: If you guys are struggling restricted access error on user's PC you can run these on your Admin PC and just copy paste all the packages to user's computers and run'em manually you don't need to run all those commands to replicate installation :) Thanks a bunch again.
Which one is the real one? "Microsoft Apps store" Or "Microsoft Store" When I am about to download a game "Microsoft apps store" has *"rtc=1" at the end of its website, something "Microsoft store" doesn't have
You are my hero. I lost so much data including my mail app and microsoft store when I changed some paths between disks a bit too chaotically. I had tried everything from shady dowloads to trying to contact the microsoft support team, to no avail. So I just decided to look over some codes and study the powershell a bit and there I was! Finding you and the treasure trove that your site and your channel are. Thank you so much! You also got me more interested in code, so maybe I found a new little hobby too :)
Man, honestly I followed your tutorial to the dot and got back my beloved snipping tool. Not only that, you also built a curiosity in me to learn more about Powershell. Thanks, man!
This worked. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I received a forced update to the new Outlook and wanted to revert to the old Windows Mail & Calendar application in W10. With enough patience and diligence, I was able to follow your steps and download the last update to the Windows Communications App. A life-saver!

OMG this video was a life saver. Even though Im running the Microsoft Store (it doesn't work but I stil have stuff that I don't want to get rid of that still works for some reason) but I got rid of the XBox app and wanted it back but couldn't download it from the Store app at all.

Thanks for the "I hate myself" comment with regards to Spotify Install. Very funny. Setting up my bare bones Win11 on a new system drive after my last NVME finally died - this helped greatly. Thanks.
Hey friend, how did you get your win11 installation to be "bare bones" ? Did you use a 3rd-party tool to strip out stuff from the ISO b4 installing, or something else?
It's insne how poorly some sites/services are. For instance, the Realtek Audio Console or HD AUdio Manager should be downloaded from the store as they suggest. Now, search for it manually in their store, you get to knockoff apps with 1 review and a price of 5 dollar. I'm sure a grandmother would think: "Well okay, Mr. Microsoft. After spending 4500 dollar on my basic laptop like the vendor told me, the extra 5 bucks is fine. I'm in when I need to, i want to hear my grandchildren!"
"So let's look through here and say, you know what? I'm feeling like I need some Spotify from the Microsoft Store because, I hate myself" -Chris Titus I laughed a bit too hard there..
I have a noob question here, does those windows store apps auto-update themselves without the microsoft store? I have kept Winget only for software update purposes but my installation doesn't have any microsoft store.
Thank you! This link allowed me to install the Apple Music on my Windows on ARM device! As I received, "This product isn't compatible with your PC's processor in the Microsoft store.
Since about a week I'm getting multiple errors when the script tries to "register" winget on Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021. I can't remember if the script tried to register winget before but now it definitely doesn't work properly. Where can I report this?
hey can you make a video about migrating your pro installation to LTSC branch? please? and also how long LTSC will be supported i just want wine to get good enough so i can finally switch to arch.
Way, way back I had Windows 10 Pro installed (anything is called "Pro" these days 🙄) and I just made a backup and list of everything to use on the LTSC version. Ever since I've installed LTSC, I couldn't go back to the crappy bloatware versions that are available.
Hi, I come back to this video whenever I need to install an app and now the copy/paste section of the website is a complete mess and not useful. Could you please fix it?
Have you added your own 'll'' alias somewhere? (or has MS added one?) iirc 'ls' is an alias of Get-ChildItem in powershell, but they haven't ported the typical ls bash aliases.
that's excellent stuff. Does it work for PC Gamepass too? I am quite interested in that 'cos I have the gamepass but want to use it in a clean as possible version of Windows 11
Video suggestion: Please do a video on Uninstallers like Bulk Crap Uninstaller, Revo Uninstaller etc. Love all of your videos and your windows debloat script is amazing. Thanks for your hard work.
Just wanted to bring your attention towards it.. Xbox game pass and Microsoft games like Minecraft and Forza Horizon requires the Microsoft store to run. I made a windows iso using msmg toolkit And removed the store. After trying to Install the games it refused to run on that iso build. later, had to build another one with the Microsoft store.. So is there a way around it by any chance to bypass those dependencies And run the games without it?

Hey chris! I tried installing a hyperx app through this method but it doesnt open after installing, even after rebooting. Didnt get any errors through the process. Any tips how to fix? Cheers
does it overwrite existing previous versions of the same app? I.e. if you were to download an old spotify version first and then choose the one in the video would it delete or overwrite the existing version?
i realised something clock, Callender and etc are technically wondows store app and are updated using store so what i mean is, there is a possibility to create your own clock and callender and map apps that can totally replace Microsoft store default apps. ofcourse a windows update may mess all this up

Hi Chris, I hope you're doing well, in my case I did this but after installing the app, for some reason, it won't open.. i did reboot the system, would you know why could this happen? I love your videos, greetings from Buenos Aires Argentina.
Does this work for Windows 8.1? I want to use my windows tablet together with the Terminal app to SSH into my linux server (using regular powershell or cmd does not have a good support for touch input)
Hi Chris. Is there a video you have made and if so could you link to me about a lean tight machine for gaming uses? I am a new viewer and I see your scripts on your website should i use that? I will be learning to run a lean tight machine and going to learn this stuff on a machine i can mess up first before doing it on my main gaming machines. Thank you.
Oh bro i luv u so much, i really try install many things like Minecraft and others and didn't work using winget this problem solved really appreciate thx
I did the NTLite for win10 image, then did the winget part, was able to launch CTT debloat tool, but I noticed NTLite stripped out snipping tool, and I don't know how to get the old snipping tool back. I tried the same way as u did Spotify, but it didn't work.
