Hi!

In your case you need to upgrade Windows in-place with option to "Keep your personal files and apps" on.
And then check this #80

Have you solved it? I have the same problem

update of the issue:
it appears on Windows 10 22H2 in lastest version, so a fix/revert for that is coming soon!

Should i wait for your fix or inplace-upgrade?

[ionuttbara]

you can do in-place upgrade, and remove with safe methods.
i don't have an ETA for that. In Windows 10 the problem appears and it fixed, in Windows 11, its a bit conplicated. i installed in vm and personal machine but it works, i dont get any error.

What do I do if I want to upgrade

a solution to solve UWP problem is to change value of EnableLUA policy from 0 to 1. This will enable UAC.
Microsoft broke UWP apps when UAC are disabled in Windows 11. It will be add in the script documentation soon.

I tried to set UAC to 1 but it didn‘t help

After months of debugging and bug hunting i've found the cause of problem
smartscreenps.dll is removed and unregistered by script. just copy the file from original DVD/ISO of Windows which you installed, also register with regsvr. the class {A463FCB9-6B1C-4E0D-A80B-A2CA7999E25D} is came from smartscreenps.dll so, in 12.6 the smartscreenps.dll is not removed anymore. also i can't restore that dll with the script, so for testing, it needs a clean machine , appling the script and reinterpretate that actions. After i get read to logs and more, and results of tests will be same , so this will help to solve this issue.

Will this modification restore smartscreen?

[ionuttbara]

as i said, the script is not restoring the files because are multiple versions of Windows. so you can do with sfc /scannow and after that registering smartscreenps.dll with regsvr32. reboot.

I used 12.6 with U option on my Win 11 23H2 build 22631.2715:

I disabled some services to close ports:

I disabled DCOM too

[ionuttbara]

disabling DCOM harms your system.. maybe the version of Windows is broken or something.. for my confirmation, have you tested on clean install or used installation? can you send me there evtx files (event logs) i want to investigate more. (the U is removing normal but without C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Windows Defender folder because that folder is needed for Windows App SDK Desktop and file explorer. Removing in Windows 23H2 and Canary (Dev Channel unaffected) will restore to Windows 10 Explorer, Task Manager and Desktop (Desktop is not existing)..

[ionuttbara]

update the relese page with information.

I used a clean install. Disabled services and dcom and afterwards i used the defender remover with U option. As for the logs i mist look if i haven‘t deleted them yet.

Will this modification restore smartscreen?此修改会恢复 smartscreen 吗？

face the same problem when update apps in MS store.
tried reinstall some apps after uninstalled but failed.
warning code ‘0x80073CF9’.
version 12.6 used only.
win 11 pro 23H2.
I wonder what should I do then.

[ionuttbara]

@StenApp the issue is not neccesary anymore. in build 26010 option Y works again and WASDK is not breaking0 anymore... what you do is wait 6 weeks to roll-out to release.

[asukasika]

So has this issue been fixed or should we wait for updates

[cherub0507]

Cannot wait.
Re-install the Windows with option to "Keep your personal files and apps" on and fixed it.

[StenApp]

Any status on this issue?

"Keep your personal files and apps" ，The problem is still，0x80070057
