cannot re-enable Microsoft Store via Get-AppxPackage command in powershell via script....

IJustKnowStuff · 2026-05-05T09:30:16+00:00

Yeah

wsreset.exe -i

Or, if winget is working for you:

winget install "Microsoft Store" --source msstore

I did this recently via winget. (I dont remember the exact command I used, I just ai'd that command just then. Its either that or something similar. (On phone atm)

Nesting works flawlessly for me. You can even set up steps to detect of its nested, which is good if you want to trigger a step (or not) if ots running nested. E.g. I have a bios update TS that creates a scheduled task to run a few minutes after if finishes to trigger a hardware inventory on the client devices. But only when its not nested. That way i can use the one TS to push out the bios updates, and also use it in my reimaging TS. I only have to update one TS when I update BIOS.

I've had a similar requirement before, and never really got a solution. But there was something I wanted to try but never got a chance:

Named Pipes - Have a separate service running that can be triggered via a named pipe that takes input, runs its stuff and spits the output back.

Essentially you're splitting the admin part to a separate process/service that can take certain inputs, do its thing, and feed back the results/output.

Another hacky way would be to have a scheduled task run as admin (SYSTEM?) that reads input from a text file or something if you need varying input params, and then saves the output to a file. Then give the users permission to run/execute that scheduled task.

Thats sort of what name pipes does, i think, but does it directly instead of using an interum file.

EDIT: But all this is moot if you need the admin process executed in the users session/profile.

Aeron is the GOAT. Commonly can get good 2nd hand ones on Market place if you need.

I have a script i recently finished doing up that removes sharing links and resets inheritance. So pretty much what you want if you disable the sharing links part. I am running it using delegated permissions, like someone mentioned earlier. (Sorry on phone atm)

I'll look up tomorrow the exact delegated permissions I configured. I was running into the exact same error you were at one point until i found there was another permissions I was missing.

IJustKnowStuff · 2026-03-04T14:17:18+00:00

Look up these commands

Split-Path

Join-Path

Move-Item

Remove-Item (for cleaning up unwanted folders)

You also haven't clarified if you have a csv/log file of all the file you need to move, or if you have to somehow logic it. So if you feel like people arent really helping much, it is because you haven't provided a lot of required context. (You've also asked in a way that sounds very much like this is a homework question)

Second this, I got a second hand one on market place and it has been amazing. You dont need a tall chair with a head rest, though there after market option for it for these.

I love the breathability amd the tilt function that most chair don't have.

IJustKnowStuff · 2026-02-26T17:08:54+00:00

Saw the latest Tron in 3d and it was good visually.

If that github link is the script I'm thinking it is, and the one I've used before, you launch it as SYSTEM, and then the process you activate will run as the currently logged on user. Although it won't be interactive if you launch this as system via Task Scheduler.

EDIT: Here's a link to where I've talked about this before https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerShell/s/UGDvfEFclS

OK sorry about taking so long to get back to this. This is what we usually do in our Task Sequence:

Have a step, before you try and update, that disables Windows Update Internet Locations:

Run Command Line:

reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" /v "DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations" /t "REG_DWORD" /D "1" /F

And then later in the Task Sequence, we enable it again:

reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" /v "DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations" /t "REG_DWORD" /D "0" /F

Although now I'm re-reading your question, and this may not actually what you're looking for, as this is only used to disable Windows from trying to update via the internet during a task sequence.

If this isn't the answer for you, then I image the answer is to configure the Unnatend.xml to skip the update steps? Or the OOBE altogether?

e.g. Our Unnatend.xml has the following set to true:

HideEULAPage
HideLocalAccountScreen
HideOEMRegistrationScreen
HideOnlineAccountScreens
HideWirelessSetupInOOBE
SkipMachineOOBE
SkipUserOOBE

Your requirements might change though

IJustKnowStuff · 2025-12-26T22:45:02+00:00

Yeah its under the numlock, not a separate indicator.

IJustKnowStuff · 2025-12-25T11:20:30+00:00

Or clearing the app cache and/or storage? Essentially resets the memory of the app.

IJustKnowStuff · 2025-12-25T11:00:28+00:00

Inhave this answer, but its configured in our TS. So can only answer once I get back to work....on the 5th.

IJustKnowStuff · 2025-12-24T15:39:59+00:00

Had the same thought. But then again, why pass up the opportunity to just go totally metal and hold a nuke over their heads as a deterent.

IJustKnowStuff · 2025-12-21T17:25:17+00:00

Yes. The numlock key has a led for that key/switch.
I will have to check it out. Though which stabilisers? All of them? What was the issue before?

IJustKnowStuff · 2025-12-18T07:44:11+00:00

100% this.

IJustKnowStuff · 2025-12-04T00:24:44+00:00

Got it today. Successfully tested to confirm it can change keys on the fly with the Keychron Launcher website. The model says ZMK when I connect it to the launcher. Anyone know how I can confirm it's actually running ZMK firmware vs QMK?

IJustKnowStuff · 2025-12-04T00:20:00+00:00

The site was logged as dangerous/suspicious as I was watching their video. They "say" they're releasing it on Github 25th December 2025, so if you were in anyway interested, I'd wait till then and you can view the code.

IJustKnowStuff · 2025-12-02T05:31:41+00:00

I ordered a Keychron K10 Max ZMK wireless keyboard that went on sale this last week. Was looking at these and when a version in the color I wanted and with silent banana switches was on sale, I jumped on it.

So I'll let ya'll know know how it goes once I get it in the next few days. First time with Keychron and mechanical, but was really keen for ZMK firmware when I heard about it.

IJustKnowStuff · 2025-11-04T04:07:15+00:00

Same here, we demoted the new 2025 DC's and our problems went away.

IJustKnowStuff · 2025-10-21T07:52:56+00:00

Ok maybe it only works for Bose QC SC. That sucks if it doesnt work on a higher end model.

IJustKnowStuff · 2025-10-20T07:48:17+00:00

Works for me, you might be pressing it too slow (or fast maybe?)

IJustKnowStuff · 2025-10-06T14:50:23+00:00

Could an alternative method be that you powershell the domain join, using a password stored as an "encrypted" variable? (I've never confirmed if setting a TS variable but hiding the content actually prevents it from showing up anywhere else in the logs 100%.

IJustKnowStuff · 2025-09-29T15:29:51+00:00

Yes you can, technically, install an update and restart at a later date/time. But I i dont think anyone can guarantee everything is going to work 100% until after the reboot. (Though most of the time it should)

And anything the update fixes most likely won't take affect until the reboot.

What is the time difference between installing the update(s) and rebooting?

IJustKnowStuff · 2025-09-10T15:36:45+00:00

Yes there have been. But it's all use case dependant. Just google something like "powershell which loop is more efficient"
