Как установить фотографии windows 10 powershell

This article will serve as an informative guide and give you a clear understanding of how to perform silent or interactive installs and uninstalls of the Microsoft Photos (Microsoft Store App) using the Powershell App Deployment Toolkit. The PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit can be used to replace your WiseScript, VBScript and Batch wrapper scripts with one versatile, re-usable and extensible tool. This tool is an absolute must for Microsoft Endpoint Manager Configuration Manager (MEMCM) / (SCCM) Administrators or anyone who is responsible for packaging and deploying software.

How to Install the Microsoft Photos (Microsoft Store App) Using the PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit

1. Download the Powershell App Deployment Toolkit 3.8.4:
   • https://github.com/PSAppDeployToolkit/PSAppDeployToolkit/releases/download/3.8.4/PSAppDeployToolkit_v3.8.4.zip
2. Download the zip file to a folder created at (C:\Downloads)
3. Open Windows PowerShell by Right-Clicking on Windows PowerShell and selecting Run as Administrator
4. Enter the following command to remove the Zone.Identifier:
   • Unblock-File -Path C:\Downloads\PSAppDeployToolkit_v3.8.4.zip
5. Enter the following command to extract the contents of the zip file:
   • Expand-Archive -Path C:\Downloads\PSAppDeployToolkit_v3.8.4.zip -DestinationPath C:\Downloads\PADT
6. Enter the following commands to copy the AppDeployToolkit & Files folder to “C:\Downloads\PhotosApp“:
   • Copy-Item -Path "C:\Downloads\PADT\Toolkit\AppDeployToolkit" -Destination "C:\Downloads\PhotosApp\AppDeployToolkit" -Recurse
   • Copy-Item -Path "C:\Downloads\PADT\Toolkit\Files" -Destination "C:\Downloads\PhotosApp\Files"

You should now see the AppDeploymentToolkit folder with files & the empty Files folder at “C:\Downloads\PhotosApp”

Next we’ll want to download the Microsoft Photos (Microsoft Store App) & dependency files using PowerShell.

• Copy the PowerShell script below to “C:\Downloads” & name it Get_Store_Downloads.ps1
• Script Reference: https://flexxible.com/automating-msix-packaging-with-powershell/

.SYNOPSIS
	This script performs the installation or uninstallation of the Microsoft Photos Microsoft Store App.
	# LICENSE #
	PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit - Provides a set of functions to perform common application deployment tasks on Windows.
	Copyright (C) 2017 - Sean Lillis, Dan Cunningham, Muhammad Mashwani, Aman Motazedian.
	This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or any later version. This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.
	You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
.DESCRIPTION
	The script is provided as a template to perform an install or uninstall of an application(s).
	The script either performs an "Install" deployment type or an "Uninstall" deployment type.
	The install deployment type is broken down into 3 main sections/phases: Pre-Install, Install, and Post-Install.
	The script dot-sources the AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1 script which contains the logic and functions required to install or uninstall an application.
.PARAMETER DeploymentType
	The type of deployment to perform. Default is: Install.
.PARAMETER DeployMode
	Specifies whether the installation should be run in Interactive, Silent, or NonInteractive mode. Default is: Interactive. Options: Interactive = Shows dialogs, Silent = No dialogs, NonInteractive = Very silent, i.e. no blocking apps. NonInteractive mode is automatically set if it is detected that the process is not user interactive.
.PARAMETER AllowRebootPassThru
	Allows the 3010 return code (requires restart) to be passed back to the parent process (e.g. SCCM) if detected from an installation. If 3010 is passed back to SCCM, a reboot prompt will be triggered.
.PARAMETER TerminalServerMode
	Changes to "user install mode" and back to "user execute mode" for installing/uninstalling applications for Remote Destkop Session Hosts/Citrix servers.
.PARAMETER DisableLogging
	Disables logging to file for the script. Default is: $false.
.EXAMPLE
    PowerShell.exe .\Deploy-PhotosApp.ps1 -DeploymentType "Install" -DeployMode "NonInteractive"
.EXAMPLE
    PowerShell.exe .\Deploy-PhotosApp.ps1 -DeploymentType "Install" -DeployMode "Silent"
.EXAMPLE
    PowerShell.exe .\Deploy-PhotosApp.ps1 -DeploymentType "Install" -DeployMode "Interactive"
.EXAMPLE
    PowerShell.exe .\Deploy-PhotosApp.ps1 -DeploymentType "Uninstall" -DeployMode "NonInteractive"
.EXAMPLE
    PowerShell.exe .\Deploy-PhotosApp.ps1 -DeploymentType "Uninstall" -DeployMode "Silent"
.EXAMPLE
    PowerShell.exe .\Deploy-PhotosApp.ps1 -DeploymentType "Uninstall" -DeployMode "Interactive"

Ok, all the hard work is done and now you can install or uninstall the Microsoft Photos (Microsoft Store App) using one single PowerShell script. Simply change the DeploymentType parameter to install or uninstall. Logging functionality is built-in automatically and you can view the log files under “C:\Windows\Logs\Software”.

The universal Photos app is the default photo or image viewer in Windows 10/11 operating system. The classic Windows Photo Viewer, although it has not been removed from Windows 10/11, is disabled by default, and one needs to enable Windows Photo Viewer to make it the default photo viewer program in Windows 10.

The new Photos app is not just an image viewer, but it also offers basic image editing and optimizing tools as well. It provides you with options to add various effects and filters to your photos. With the Photos app, you can crop, rotate, straighten, and retouch your images. The app also allows you to remove red-eye from images.

Probably the only problem with the Photos app is that it is not as quick as the classic Windows Photo Viewer or its competitors like ImageGlass to open photos. The other most common issue is reasonably high resource usage.

If the Windows 10/11 Photos app is not opening, crashing soon after the launch, or displaying an error, you can fix those issues by reinstalling the Photos app. However, like any other default Windows 10/11 apps, the Photos app can’t be uninstalled via the Settings app. In this guide, we will see how to easily uninstall and then install the Photos app in Windows 10/11.

Method 1 – uninstall the Photos app via PowerShell and then install it

Method 2 – uninstall Photos via PowerShell

Method 3 – uninstall the Photos app using CCleaner and then install the same

Method 1 of 3

Reinstall the Photos app in Windows 10/11 using PowerShell

Step 1: Open PowerShell as an administrator. To do this, type PowerShell in the Start menu or taskbar search box, right-click on the PowerShell entry in the search results, and then click the Run as administrator option.

Click the Yes button when you see the User Account Control prompt.

Step 2: In the elevated PowerShell, type the following command and press the Enter key to uninstall the Photos app.

get-appxpackage *Microsoft.Windows.Photos* | remove-appxpackage

This should remove the Photos app. If not, follow the next method.

Step 3: Once the app is removed, open the built-in Microsoft Store app, search for the Microsoft Photos app, and install the same to reinstall the Photos app.

Another way to uninstall the Photos app via PowerShell

Step 1: Open the PowerShell with admin rights.

Step 2: Type the following command and press the Enter key to view all installed apps.

Get-AppxPackage –AllUsers

Step 3: Scroll down, and locate the entry named Microsoft.Windows.Photos and copy its PackageFullName to the Notepad program.

Tip: To quickly find the Photos app entry, right-click on the title bar of PowerShell, click Edit, click Find, type Photos, and then click the Find Next button.

To copy PackageFullName, select PackageFullName (refer to the picture below), and then use Ctrl + C hotkey to copy it.

Step 4: Execute the following command to uninstall the Photos app.

remove-AppxPackage PackageFullName

In the above command, replace PackageFullName with the PackageFullName of the Photos app that you copied to Notepad in Step 3.

Step 5: Now that we have uninstalled the Photos app from Windows 10, it’s time to install a fresh copy of the same from the Store. To do so, open the Store app by clicking the Store app tile on the Start menu or searching for it.

Step 6: Once the Store is launched, type Microsoft Photos in the search box, click on the Microsoft Photos entry, and then click the Install/Get button. If the Install or Get button is not active or you are setting the Open button instead, please close the app once, and then launch the Store app again.

Depending on the speed of your internet connection, the app should be installed and ready to use in 2 to 10 minutes.

Method 3 of 3

Reinstall the photos app using CCleaner

Those of you who are not familiar with PowerShell can use the popular CCleaner (free) software to uninstall the Photos app and then follow the directions mentioned above to install the Photos app from the Store.

Step 1: Download the CCleaner app and install the same on your Windows 10 PC, if not installed already.

Step 2: Launch CCleaner, click Tools and click Uninstall to view all installed apps.

Step 3: Locate the entry named Photos, right-click on it, and click the Uninstall button to uninstall it. Click the OK button when you see the confirmation dialog.

Step 4: Once the Photos app is uninstalled, open the Windows Store app, type Microsoft Photos in the search box, click on Photos app to open its page, and then click Free button to install the Photos app. Simple as that!
