Windows Store App Alternatives?

[Shaun_Dark_Lord]

Hi All

 

So now that Microsoft have borked our ability to deploy Windows Store Apps via SCCM without an InTune subscription, I need some open-source alternatives for some of the Apps not bundled with LTSC.

 

I'm specifically looking for alternatives to;

• Windows Calculator (The new resizable version)
  
• Windows Camera
  

 

Any recommendations? The Camera App is mainly used to some of the cheap USB visualizers.

Can you script the install of whatever app you want using winget?

Scripting with winget is a pain, as winget is also a store app, so a) doesn't exist for SYSTEM, and b) doesn't exist when you first log in, as it's installed at some random point after that. Not sure if https://github.com/asheroto/winget-install helps

You could download the relevant files using - https://store.rg-adguard.net/ - and then deploy

Tried that - Deploys, runs, insta-closes.
