Default (Default) 

Add-AppxVolume

    [-WhatIf]

Description

The Add-AppxVolume cmdlet adds an AppxVolume for the Package Manager to advertise. After you add a volume, Appx deployment operations can use that volume as a target. This cmdlet returns the volume that it adds. Note, the Path parameter must be specified as a drive letter followed by WindowsApps as the directory. Not using this format could lead to inconsistent behavior in the application model subsystems or the volume itself. For more information, see the examples section.

Examples

Example 1: Add a volume

Add-AppxVolume -Path "E:\WindowsApps"

This command adds the volume E:\WindowsApps to Package Manager.
