I'd like to know what's the command to re-install all the preinstalled UWP apps? The single line of PowerShell code that worked just fine for W10 no longer work at all on W11.

I'm asking because I deleted an apps i ended up needing and now i'm unable to find said apps on the Microsoft Store. For some reasons somes built-in apps are not publicly available and are "hidden" on the Microsoft Store, which is an awful design if you ask me.

I want to re-install the "ms-people" UWP app (the People app, which is available from within Mail and from Calendar)

The W10 PowerShell code that no longer work on W11 (for information purpose) :
Code:
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Screenshots for reference :

Please send help.
