Hi,

if you want to uninstall some preinstalled store apps you get an error “Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CFA, Removal failed. Please contact your software vendor.”

This error could happen if the App is not correctly registered.

PS D:\>Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers Microsoft.Microsoft3DViewer|Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers  
Remove-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CFA, Removal failed. Please contact your software vendor.   (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80073CFA)

ReRegister the app an try again:

PS D:\> Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers Microsoft.Microsoft3DViewer | Foreach { Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" }

Remove the app

PS D:\> Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers Microsoft.Microsoft3DViewer  | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers

Also remove provisioning

PS D:\>$aProvisionedPackages | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -Like "Microsoft.Microsoft3DViewer"} | ForEach-Object { Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackageName $_.PackageName }
