+### AppX Packages
+
+Open **AppX Removal** from the Tweaks tab to manage the listed Windows apps. Select one or more packages, then choose **Install Selected** or **Remove Selected**.
+
+When installing a selected package, WinUtil first registers an existing local `AppxManifest.xml`. If no usable local manifest remains, WinUtil installs the package from the Microsoft Store through WinGet when a Store product ID is available.
+
+During AppX installation or removal, the window-level progress bar shows the current package, completed package count, and overall progress. The Windows taskbar also reflects progress and the final success or failure state.
