Hello all, I don't know if this is the right place to post but I really need your help. Lately I'm having problems with the Microsoft Store on my 3 y/o 21H2 LTSC IoT installation, somehow it gets corrupted by itself. Last July I couldn't install any apps and update installed applications, Store couldn't progress further from the rotating circle animation and was giving up the installation. I deleted all .appx applications from my computer and when I reinstalled the store from this thread, this time it gave me the error code 0x80072F8F and it couldn't update the Store. Somehow when I left my computer untouched for a day my issues were resolved so I was happy. Fast forwarding to this week, same thing happened again and this time my licensed applications couldn't verify their licenses and I couldn't install new apps like before. But I was able to update my existing apps. I did the same thing (deleting all .appx packages and reinstalling Store) and it still gives me the same error code. I have no idea what to do (I tried using my phone's internet instead of my home wifi, checked my clock settings, deleted recent security updates & reinstalled them, enabled old TLS protocols, no dice. wsreset command gives me the same error code) and this error code doesn't point to a specific issue. Is there anything I can do without formatting my computer? Thanks in advance. SOLVED: Installing this certificate (Microsoft RSA Root Certificate Authority 2017) to Trusted Root Certification Authorities solved my problems.

First, a sincere and genuine thanks to everyone works works on these tools that allow people like me to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Thank you! Could someone tell me exactly DesktopAppInstaller is used for? I installed Store via the Add-Store.cmd (Windows 10 LTSC 21H2) but did NOT install the DesktopAppInstaller. I was still browse the store, download and run a few apps (Angry Birds 2, etc.) to test, and everything seemed to work fine. So, is the DesktopAppInstaller actually required for anything?
i'd like to add a couple more packages to this script but i cant figure out how to get their respective .xml files. how can i find/make them?
Only if the app author provided offline OEM xml license (like Microsoft free inbox apps) you can't make them
