Nice! ive spent so much time discovering all that by hand and now i can see a more detailed version of it. thanks

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!

Thanks again. Keep these technical vid coming. So cool. Good job CT!

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.

"I need some spotify from microsoft store , because i hate myself" , i can stop laughing ...

i've been waiting for you to post this since you mentioned it in the last video of your's. thanks for your work man.

Many thanks. This is very useful. Also; watching your tutorials teaches one additional (computer-) skills. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 :)

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!!!

Thanks so much Chris, I managed to install the Apps I want on my PC.

Every online help fails while I am trying to install the broken xbox app from the MS store - and just as it is nothing your guide solved it :D Amazing! Thanks for your guide!

Thanks! really helped me get some lost programs back after Microsoft Store stopped working (that fun error where "Get" does nothing)

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!

Thank YOU!!!!! I highly suggest you link this one in the NT Lite install. I needed it for my MIxed Reality Headset

This is good stuff actually. I used to install the appx packages myself, but this is way easier and I don't think its sketchy.

So much effort, and this video solves it just like that. I had some bumps along the way but ultimately it did what I, google, microsoft and ChatGPT couldn't. This is worthy of a Like and Subscribe

Thank you for this... Needed it

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.

Worked like a charm, tyvvm!

Wish I found this video at the start of my week instead of the end. Great info and worked perfect!

Thank u so much ive been doing this for like 5 hours and this helps

Thank you for this. My mail app would not update than it was deleted and than it would not download. This fixed it perfectly.

I needed this because both 3d viewer and 3d builder are amazing applications yet the store was giving me errors when trying to get them.

OMG this helped me so much. Love you.

This is sooo useful!!! Thanks dude, your videos are stellar.

Appreciate it! I coudlnt install apps because of a error microsoft couldnt fix and this worked

You are a legend. Thanks a million!

THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH U DESERVE SO MANY SUBS THANK U!!!

Works great, thank you.

thank you so much Chris!!!!!!!!

You're a Legend Man!, you saved my life...

bro this saved me i couldnt get my nvidia control pannel to open and this helped, thank you so much man

Thank-you. I rarely run and/or trust someone else's script. In my case your script hit the mark, and it's refreshing to find that you made the script smart enough to adapt itself to differing win versions and configurations. kudos!

Thank you so much for this awesome video!!!

I have been searching something like this 👀 Thanks Titus !

OMG this is what i was looking for... Thx @chris

After a VERY Long time away I installed Windows again alongside my Linux machines 💪😁

do you plan of making a video showing how to customize the power shell like yours cant find anything that works

This is the video I needed!

Should i assume the 'spot' is short for spotify? Where did you get that from? How would i install a different app, what would have to change?

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.

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.

You won't believe it I was thinking about it yesterday and you uploaded this video

What a lifesaver thank you 🎉❤

Bro, you're a lifesaver! Thank you so much!

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?

Great video thanks. How would this work for paid apps?

Thanks man truly a legend

Thank you Bro!

hak man your a mind reader.....was searching winget today 👌👌

LOVE YOUR CHANNEL

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.

Thank you! it's work for download myasus from store :)

Thanx Bro, You're a Legend

Ty for this The linked website in the desc has conflicting "scripts" /commands from the one you used in the vid.

Is there a way to install the microsoft account componebts later if i for example want to use the onenote app?

You are my hero bro!

Also, seems theres more errors that we can get varying from the device that file was meant to be installed on, i had to test the appx´s to find out wich one was for like, xbox and other MS devices before finding the PC version. wonder if theres anything we can do to know this beforehand.

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.

had to change my ExecutionPolicy to get this to work, but it worked after that. Thanks!

So useful, although, one thing to keep in mind, I disabled the Windows Firewall among other things when I tweaked my system and this won't work with it disabled.

maybe a silly question but how are app updates handled?

I don't miss the Microsoft Store or Windows Chris. I'm a Linux guy now and have been for the last 10 years.

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

Titus, could you do a video on uninstalling redundant MS SQL, DotNet and C++ frameworks/library's. Because after doing your debloat and process cleanup, legacy software is still active.

Is there a way to replace the old version of appx with the latest downloaded offline appx? Thank you!

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.

Hi Titus, what you think about AME windows 10 ? The pre-build one and the script to de-bloat.

Thank you!

How your powershell at the start has those yellow, orange blue ARROW ??

Good stuff, tx.

Hello @Chris Titus Tech ,i got a question ,It's somehow possible to change saturation on linux like it's possible on windows I rly wanna switch to linux but it's holding me back like I can change saturation on windows throght amd driver display settings but on linux I don't have amd driver display to do that, any ideas how to do that?(my english sucks sry about that)

can u force install app in old pc?

I'd love to see if you can use this to run Microsoft store programs on linux with wine. I tried to do that a while back and fell short

Working!! thanks

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.

THANK YOU! my Microsoft store has been broken and wanted to install the update for the game bar

I want to install Store Apps that are "not compatible" with Windows 10 LTSC. This method doesn't work 😪 I'm trying to install Windows Notepad

Is it somehow possible to run microsoft store apps in wine in linux?

Hello, thank you for the video. Could you explain how to manage the Microsoft Store within an Enterprise environment with Endpoint/intune. For example, prevent the user from downloading apps that are not approved from the Microsoft Store. For example, I dont want staff members the ability to install Netflix or games from the Microsoft Store. What would be best practice, would you completely block Microsoft Store? How would this impact apps that depend on updates from the Microsoft store?

well now all of a sudden I dont have anything to hold me back to run you clean Windows setup. thanks!

Added the HEIC file reader to my windows. Thanks. :D

THANK you so much.

Do I need to activate the developer mode or it is not necessary when you use Power Shell

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

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..! Can I do this on Linux(Ubuntu)?

Now my question, that you may/probably already have answered in another video (new subscriber), can you do the same thing in linux? I am using a linux box (Mint currently) for my main machine, but there are about 2 apps (specific, none replaceable) I really want that are only on the windows store. Would love it if this would work.

These are the same app stores when the Surface RT was able to run Windows 10. They worked but limited on the RT

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?

is this for all users, or just the user signed on?

So Chris I have a question I want to completely strip down windows 11 and only install drivers directly from the Asus website my question is from this method can I install the Xbox app and the required updates and ONLY login with my Microsoft account though Xbox is that possible without any possibility that Microsoft either auto repairs the directories, and repositories just to maintain a clean seem less perfect gaming experience thank you for your videos I am inspired with your videos

Do they update automatically or do I have to do it manually?

Great Thank You...

how to choose which one is the best from storeadguard links?

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.

ctt, is a high tier tech ytuber and in my personal top 10, good job

I would like to know what apps people can only get on the mirosoft store that are not on winget or choco?

Thank you
