body: <p>Recently forced upgraded to windows 10 by microsoft. Windows Start and cortana froze. Searched google and from powershell ran </p>
  
  <pre><code>Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach 
  {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now lot of my windows application have disappeared. They show up with @{AppPackageName} in taskmanager or when searched using cortana for example @{Microsoft.ZuneMusic_2019.6.15131.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe}. I can not remove these app using any command like</p>

  <p>Tried to install store app manually and get error Merge Failure : error 0x80070003 : Cannot register the Microsoft.WindowsStore_2015.21.25.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe package because there was a merge failure with the following file: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsStore_2015.21.25.0_neutral_split.scale-100_8wekyb3d8bbwe\resources.pri</p>

  <p>Now I understand that store app is not getting add because add process is causing error or merge failure with another package (?). The problem is get/Add-AppxPackage are resolving dependency of application with package-version: Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_10.1510.13020.0_neutral_split.scale-100_8wekyb3d8bbw‌​e 
  AND/OR 
  Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_10.1510.13020.0_neutral_split.language-hi_8wekyb3d8bbwe </p>
  
  <p>My laptop c:\program files\windowsapp only has Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_10.1510.9020.0_neutral_split.scale-100_8wekyb3d8bbwe (not diff in version 13020 and 9020). <strong>Note</strong>: The version no on app is 13020 but dependent package on drive is 9020. </p>
  
  <p>Second package is missing from drive (Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_10.1510.13020.0_neutral_split.language-hi_8wekyb3d8‌​bbwe).</p>
  
  <p>How to get my calculator and windows store application back.</p>
