Download the script [here](https://github.com/AgentRev/WindowsAppsUnfukker/archive/refs/heads/main.zip)\n2. Download [PAExec](https://www.poweradmin.com/paexec/)\n3. Open CMD as admin (the real CMD, not PowerShell), then access its folder: `cd PAEXEC_PATH_HERE`\n4. Adjust `FULL_PATH_HERE` and execute the script:\n   ```\n   paexec -s -i cmd /C powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File \"FULL_PATH_HERE\\WindowsAppsUnfukker.ps1\" \"%LocalAppData%\" ^|^| pause\n   ```\n   (If it says exit code -196608, it means the absolute path is invalid, double-check the `-File` path you entered)\n\n---\nNote: If your objective is to modify files inside an app folder, I don't provide any assistance for that use-case, but there is an extra step required after running the script. You have to rename the app folder by adding `-old` at the end, make a copy of the folder, and rename the copy back to the original name. This will allow you to modify the files inside if they are not [encrypted](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/cipher). I don't why \"Full control\" permissions alone aren't sufficient, probably just [Microsoft eating a bag of dicks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gksc2aR2KCk) as usual. Some app folders are actually read-only Xbox Virtual Disk (XVD) images mounted at the driver level, so don't bother touching those.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FAgentRev%2FWindowsAppsUnfukker","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FAgentRev%2FWindowsAppsUnfukker","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FAgentRev%2FWindowsAppsUnfukker/lists"}
