Snipping tool missing after deploy golden image to HostPool

We have the same issue with Win11 23H2.  We installed Greenshot for them to use.

Unfortunately, that's a known issue with Microsoft.
Sometimes, the apps (Photos, Snipping, Notepad, etc.) survive sysprep and other times, they don't 😞.

Microsoft has said they're working on a fix for this, but we haven't heard any definitive date of when it will be available.

That being said, a lot of partners have had success with running this command in a scripted action.
Although, sometimes it needs to be run as a startup script so it can run in a user context.

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers *Microsoft.ScreenSketch* | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

It's fixed by doing below steps.

1.CMD to check specific app for all the users--

Get-AppxPackage *screensketch* -AllUsers

2.Please run below command from Powershell ISE as admin in the image for provisioning the specific app

$PFN = "Name of the built in App"
$packageManager = [Windows.Management.Deployment.PackageManager,Windows.Web,ContentType=WindowsRuntime]::new()
$result = $packageManager.ProvisionPackageForAllUsersAsync("PackageFamilyName")
if ($result.ExtendedErrorCode) { Write-Host "Error $result.ExtendedErrorCode.HResult provisioning $PFN"; } else { Write-Host "Package $PFN correctly provisioned!" }

Thanks for sharing what worked for you, Akhtar Alam!

Did you try this as a Scripted Action or as long as you run it once on the Desktop Image, does that work even when the hosts are imaged?

For anyone finding this topic, I did post a rough overview of how to deploy snipping tool using App Attach that you can see here.
