As the title says, does anyone have an msixbundle of the latest version of Windows Notepad from Microsoft Store that still installs on Windows 10 (the one with the new icon)? I tried with the versions on store adguard, but it requires MinVersion 10.0.19541.0. If I change that, remove AppxMetadata, AppxBlockMap.xml, AppxSignature.p7x, and [Content_Types].xml and attempt to install using "Add-AppxPackage -Register AppxManifest.xml", it complains that this version has expired and can no longer be installed. The error is baffling... Or do you know of a bypass for error 0x80073cfd (App installation failed with error message: Windows cannot install package Microsoft.WindowsNotepad_10.2102.13.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe because this package is not compatible with the device. The package requires OS version 10.0.19541.0 or higher on the Windows.Desktop device family. The device is currently running OS version 10.0.19044.2846.)? Thanks in advance. EDIT: Managed to install it now, there is a f**king list somewhere which blacklists some package names, like "Microsoft.WindowsNotepad". I was able to install by changing the identity in the AppxManifest.xml file to "Microsoft.WindowsNotepad2". f**k Microsoft and these s**tty stunts.
Glad you found a way to get over that hurdle. I feel the restrictions imposed by Microsoft for these types of operations are sometimes arbitrary. I'm not sure how to apply your workaround in my case though, maybe someone else experienced in this can chime in? I too have a similar issue with the Windows Defender app from adguard, the support packages all installed, but the actual app with MSIX extension fails with the similar error also copied below I'm running an LTSC variant of the OS, and thinking because that does not inherently support Microsoft Store, I'm not going to be able to get this package installed. Note that I'm attempting a re-install this to restore some functionality, I can for example get the suitable APPX package Microsoft.Windows.SecHealthUI to install by other methods, but have not found a way to individually install that package, that operation brings in several other packages to the build I have to be sure won't impact my customer. Here's the packages I get from adguard related to Windows Defender: Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.33519.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Appx Microsoft.6365217CE6EB4_102.2410.16002.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.BlockMap Microsoft.6365217CE6EB4_102.2410.16002.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Msix Microsoft.NET.Native.Framework.2.2_2.2.29512.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Appx Microsoft.NET.Native.Framework.2.2_2.2.29512.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.BlockMap Microsoft.NET.Native.Runtime.2.2_2.2.28604.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Appx And the error with the final MSIX package: add-appxpackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CFD, A Prerequisite for an install could not be satisfied. Windows cannot install package Microsoft.6365217CE6EB4_102.2410.16002.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe because this package is not compatible with the device. The package requires OS version 10.0.22000.0 or higher on the Windows.Desktop device family. The device is currently running OS version 10.0.19044.4412. -MWonder -Update: My bad in ignoring the adguard list included an older version of the MSIX package. I used that instead and the package installed without the version error.
