What it does

When enabled, this setting will read the AppxPackages.xml manifest file from the user's profile and install / re-register the list of applications. Registry Entry: HKLM\SOFTWARE\FSLogix\Profiles\InstallAppxPackages Type: DWORD Values: 0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled

  • Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
  • The generated payload is incomplete because one or more ADMX element values were not supplied: ProfilesInstallAppxPackages
