<https://learn.microsoft.com/powershell/module/appx/add-appxpackage>`_ and
`Remove-AppxPackage <https://learn.microsoft.com/powershell/module/appx/remove-appxpackage>`_
PowerShell cmdlets are simplest to use:

$> Add-AppxPackage C:\Downloads\python-manager-25.0.msix

$> Get-AppxPackage PythonSoftwareFoundation.PythonManager | Remove-AppxPackage

`PackageManager <https://learn.microsoft.com/uwp/api/windows.management.deployment.packagemanager>`_
class. The :func:`!AddPackageAsync` method installs for the current user, or use
:func:`!StagePackageAsync` followed by :func:`!ProvisionPackageForAllUsersAsync`

to trigger those installs without being a logged in user.
