Unofficial Windows installs are not supported but you can try the below.

  1. Type Services in Windows start menu > Open the Windows update and Delivery optimization services > Set startup type to automatic > Click ok > restart Windows and try installing again.

  2. You can also try

    1. Opening PowerShell (Windows default not PowerShell 7) as administrator
    2. Run this command Add-AppxPackage -AppInstallerFile https://cdn.files.community/files/stable/Files.Package.appinstaller
    3. See if Files is in the start menu all apps section

If the above doesn't work you won't be able to use Files without reinstalling Windows using the official installer from https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11.

Add-AppxPackage -AppInstallerFile https://cdn.files.community/files/stable/Files.Package.appinstaller I try this command but get the same error.

What services does the "Files" installer require?
