Read the installed AppX/MSIX package identity/version for the current user without modifying the package.

Risk: LowReviewed: 2026-09-17
Get-AppxPackage -Name "<PackageName>"

When to use it

Use when a deployment error such as package-already-exists requires confirmation of the current package registration.

When not to use it

This is read-only inspection. Do not pipe results into Remove-AppxPackage or bulk re-registration commands unless a specific supported repair procedure requires it.
