Where can I find the MSI's for the built-in apps?

Windows modern apps do require UAC and the firewall all the time. Thanks, -Michael From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 12, 2014 11:02 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] OT: Re-provisioning Windows 8.x Applications Apologies for the OT post, but I thought this might be the best resource for some feedback. We're testing Windows 8.1 in hopes of rolling it out in the near future and have had issues with the Modern UI applications refusing to launch. After a bit of research it seems to be that unless certain features are enabled prior to a user's first login (UAC and Windows Firewall for instance), during the "provisioning" step of the user's profile creation the Modern UI applications break. This can be addressed after the fact if the proper settings are then applied and the applications are reinstalled via the Windows Store. However, we do not want users to access the Windows Store and have disabled that via Group Policy (not to mention that it requires associating with a Microsoft Account to reinstall, which I am reluctant to instruct users to do). In looking at DISM and PowerShell, there are commands (i.e. Add-AppxPackage, Add-AppxProvisionedPackage) that allow for the provisioning of Modern UI applications. It seems these would be the logical commands to "re-provision" the built-in apps, but I can't seem to find the .appx files for these apps. Has anyone ever attempted a re-install/re-provision of the built-in applications in Windows 8.1 using DISM or PowerShell?
