About this tag
The appxdeployment tag covers issues related to the AppX deployment service on Windows, which manages the installation and updating of Microsoft Store apps. Common problems include high CPU usage from the wsappx service and excessive log file generation, such as appxdeployment server.evtx files filling up disk space. These issues have been reported after Windows 10 version 1803 and may persist even after disabling Store updates. The tag also touches on Windows 11 25H2, which uses an enablement package (eKB) to activate features already present in cumulative updates, though this is less directly related to AppX deployment itself.
