When running it doesn't work, I get this.

psexec.exe -s -i powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "WindowsAppsUnfukker.ps1"

PsExec v2.4 - Execute processes remotely

You have to specify the full absolute path, e.g. "C:\Users\Tarentaise\Downloads\WindowsAppsUnfukker.ps1"

If that still doesn't work, try PAExec instead of PsExec

Tarentaise commented 1 year ago

PAExec worked however the permissions are still broken. Fuck.

The perms from "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps", or elsewhere?

Tarentaise commented 1 year ago

WindowsApps, I cannot launch WindowsApps programs still. Which sucks as I cannot access Nvidia control panel.

AgentRev commented 1 year ago

With hidden files enabled, if you right-click WindowsApps, open Properties, and go to Security, is the SYSTEM user listed? If yes, does it have Full control?

Reinstalling windows fixed my issue, sorry your script didn't help me though.
