Win 10 TP System Apps Repair

[NoelC]

It's being posted in several places that App packages in Win 10 TP systems that have been upgraded via Windows Update need to be re-deployed to ensure you're running the latest versions of those included with Win 10.  Seems like something that should have been handled by Windows Update, but apparently there are cases where it's not.

 

You can do this by running the following command in an elevated Powershell window:

 

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

 

In my Win 10 test system, which was fresh-installed from a 10074 ISO and upgraded directly to 10130, it updated a whole bunch of packages successfully, but failed on two (Cortana and Shell Experience Host) apparently because of resource conflicts.

New, enhanced, always on, continuous, unstoppable, Windows Update, codename Ouroboros ?

OT , but not much :

A possible icon for it on Windows 7:

 
the new version for 8/8.1:

 
and the new, enhanced, modern looking one for Windows 10 :

Always on, yet somehow ineffective and requiring of a geeky PowerShell command.  Pretty much right in line with modern expectations.

 

Regarding your iconography suggestions...  I thought that's what that spinning wheel (and the spinning dots, don't forget the dots) already represent.
