Get-AppxLog — read one AppX/MSIX deployment ActivityId

Read the package-deployment log associated with the ActivityId returned by a failed Add-AppxPackage or Remove-AppxPackage operation.

Risk: LowReviewed: 2026-09-17
Get-AppxLog -ActivityId <ActivityId>

When to use it

Use when an MSIX/AppX deployment failure returns an ActivityId and the exact deployment sequence/error needs to be reviewed.

When not to use it

The log is evidence, not a repair command. Do not use unrelated package-registration/removal commands just because the log contains warnings.
