Enabling the Windows 10 Native App-V Client

The Windows 10 Native App-V Client is not enabled by default.

Attempting to start the Microsoft App-V Client services produces an error:

Windows could not start the Microsoft App-V client on Local Computer.  For more information, review the System Event Log.  If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code <error code here>.

You can enable the client by entering the powershell command

Enable-AppV

Group Policy can be used:
Open the device’s Local Group Policy Editor.
Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > App-V.
Run Enables App-V Client and then select Enabled on the screen that appears.
Restart the device.
