but just look on the web, the things I mentioned are very common problems. or maybe someone in your org has figured out what the problem is caused by, and taken steps to mitigate it. We have stuff we have them use as line of business apps, so we'd get a lot more of that. The windows app platform just isn't as good as the others. I've never had a problem with removing and adding an app on ios or android. I don't get a lot of tickets on it either, but its because no users are really using these things compared to normal x86 programs.

The whole process where you are supposed to unregister the app and then register it again doesn't work or fix the issue. I think it breaks from the store updates, so I've disabled updating apps from the store. but suddenly the photos app won't work after some arbitrary store update on one machine, or the settings button doesn't work on one machine at random, etc. I have the same damned image on hundreds of machines, identical to the bit. We pre-load some appx's on our system image for various things at work too and we almost never get a UWP related ticket over 40k workstations.

but even so, it's not that bad, and maybe about 30% of what I use is UWP/appx these days. Methinks you're referring to UWP/appx wrapped stuff instead of old Win32/WinRT exe model stuff. just like 'hackers' aren't just people who code in todays nomenclature. No sense fighting the verbal common culture.

Even microsoft has differentiated them this way by using 'apps' vs 'programs'. but apps is now common terminology for jailed applications that are part of an 'app store' ecosystem. Well, 'applications' have been the common term for executables on x86 architecture.
