Hi,

OS Windows 10 21H2 - I run a script that use the PowerShell cmdlet "Get-Appx" and remove Windows Universal Apps. Then Notepad app disappear.

I'm trying to whitelist notepad but can't find the package name. Thoughts?

    You can use (PowerShell as Admin) 

    Get-WindowsCapability -Online | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "*notepad*"}

    (then Add-WindowsCapability with the returned name to re-install it)

    I don't want add it manually. I want find what is package name I'm removing and that also remove Notepad. Get-Appx returns alot of applications but I don't know which one is related to NotePad.

    Did you try adding the notepad using the optional features in settings, apps & features, add?
    if you cannot find using the optional features, you may have to use FOD (Features on-demand) package to reinstall/reload the notepad app.

    Thanks,
