Omar GitHub Chris Titus	9791386f53	fix: resolve silent failures in AppX removal and PS7 DISM bugs (#4822 ) * fix: resolve silent failures in AppX removal and PS7 DISM bugs - Fixed a bug where Remove-AppxPackage failed silently in PowerShell 7 due to pipeline binding issues. We now explicitly loop through Get-AppxPackage results and pass PackageFullName directly. - Added wildcard matching to Get-AppxPackage and Get-AppxProvisionedPackage to reliably locate packages regardless of short name vs family name variations. - Offloaded Get-AppxProvisionedPackage and Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage execution to Windows PowerShell 5.1 (powershell.exe) to bypass PowerShell 7 DISM COM exceptions ("Class not registered") and performance hangs. - Deduplicated AppX removal logic by calling Remove-WinUtilAPPX directly from Invoke-WPFAppxRemoval instead of copying the implementation. * refactor(Remove-WinUtilAPPX): use script block to improve readability * feat: enhance AppX removal process and add provisioned package removal function * fix(tests): update AppX removal tests This also adds tests for the new Remove-WinUtilProvisionedAPPX functionality * Move AppX removal under Tweaks * Address AppX removal review feedback * Complete AppX removal error handling * Prevent AppX cleanup confirmation prompts --------- Co-authored-by: Chris Titus <contact@christitus.com>	2026-07-13 13:16:35 -05:00
