Microsoft apps managed by Wapt packages that randomly disappear

Good morning,

I wanted to know if you have ever encountered the issue of packaged apps with your Microsoft Store template that tend to disappear from the computer randomly and need to be forced to reappear?

Examples with "web support extension", "sticky notes" and "calculator"

Hi Rémy,

what version of the appx package do you have? There were changes a few months ago to support eappx. Maybe there was a regression...

Hello Denis,

We had version 86 of the Microsoft Store template package, but the sticky note package was generated using an older version (67) of the template package.

The problem is that we're worried that updating the package will reinstall the app on users' computers and erase their sticky note data (a situation that recently occurred when we forced a package installation on a user's computer).
