Store Apps on LTSB Now Possible The Best Of Both Worlds

[TPreston]

I found this online and tested it on LTSB 2016. This script adds the Windows Store application (but no other apps) into LTSB 2016. Useful if you still need one or two store apps but don't want the upgrade hell of current branch.

Here is a quick and dirty logon script to deploy this via powershell

 

$OSVersion = (get-itemproperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" -Name ProductName).ProductName
If($OSVersion -eq "Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB")

	$StoreAppX="C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsStore_11606.1001.39.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxManifest.xml"
	If (Test-Path $StoreAppX)
		{
			Write-Host "The Core AppX Packages Have Allready Been Installed Exiting Now"

Many threads on that page, I think you were referring to this one.

 

Install Microsoft Store and Apps on Windows 10 LTSB 2016

 

A nice feature but most people use LTSB to avoid Apps.
