Like many others i tweaked with the permissions on the windowsapp folder (thanks to all those websites who said it wouldn't amount to much) and i'm trying to fix most of my apps not opening anymore by running your script Not sure if you still answer to issues but this is the error message that i got after running the command and i haven't seen it anywhere else PAExec v1.29 - Execute Programs Remotely Copyright (c) 2012-2021 Power Admin LLC www.poweradmin.com/PAExec

Hmm maybe try with PsExec? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec

I had an error message when i tried to do it with PsExec, not really sure why but in the end even with the error it did fix it! Microsoft store and all my apps are opening again. Thank you for your help!
