Steps to reproduce

Currently, when an MSIX installation fails, the reported error message (e.g., Deployment operation failed. (0x80070005)) is often too generic to effectively diagnose the root cause. To improve diagnostic capabilities, bug reports for MSIX installation issues should include relevant Windows Event Log entries from the AppXDeployment-Server log.

These logs typically contain detailed and actionable information, such as specific error context, package details, and user/environment information that is crucial for troubleshooting.

Suggested Improvement: Update diagnostic or support guidelines to instruct users to collect and attach AppXDeployment-Server logs when reporting MSIX installation failures.
