07/17/2024, 6:24 PMBlocknonadminuserinstall isn't necessary (as you could "install"), but probably useful.
As I'm about to leave for vacation I can't check the steps myself right now, but I'd recommend looking at the event log for clues:
1. Go the Event Viewer (Local) > Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows.
2. Check for available logs under these categories:
• AppxPackagingOM > Microsoft-Windows-AppxPackaging/Operational
• AppXDeployment-Server > Microsoft-Windows-AppXDeploymentServer/Operational
3. Review logs under AppXDeployment-Server
