Multi-app kiosk, auto-logon, and installed app

I am using Windows Configuration Designer to create a provisioning package for a multi-app kiosk including the creation of an auto-logon account. All of it works with one exception. If I specify Universal Windows Apps that have been installed on the machine under an admin account, the apps do not function under the auto-logon account that is created. The icons for the apps appear (without any logos), but the apps will not run. If I create the local account first and install the apps from the Microsoft Store, then the apps will work, but I can't specify that account to be an auto-logon account in the package. Instead, I have to manually configure it for auto-logon via the registry. Is there a way for the auto-logon account that is created by the package to have access to those UWP apps which are already available on the machine?

We are not using Intune. I'm simply trying to create a provisioning package per the Windows 10 assigned access documentation.

Sounds good, thought you were asking about this tool.

Hi
Based on my research, this might be because the UWP Apps were not properly installed during the process of adding UWP Apps to package, you could go to Settings > Apps to see if the apps were listed.

Or have you had third party security apps added to the package? This might also cause failure in these apps.

I have a very specific official guideline on adding UWP Apps to provisioning package right here that you might want to check it out:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/provisioning-packages/provision-pcs-with-apps#add-a-universal-app-to-your-package

Also a complete guide on Create a provisioning package:

Bests,

The apps had already been installed on the machine, and they did show up in Settings > Apps under the local admin account on the machine. In other words, the apps were NOT installed as part of the provisioning package. The package was only used to put the machine into the multi-app kiosk mode. If that package references apps that are "native" to Windows 10 (e.g., Edge, Calculator, etc.), then they will function when the kiosk is set up. But if the apps references in the kiosk package were installed from the Store (which these were), they won't function in the kiosk. The only way around this that I have found is to set up the local account that the kiosk package will use, install the apps under that user, and then apply the package. That seems like a lot of effort. Are you saying that this will work without those extra steps if the apps are installed as part of that same package?

Checking back on this one. I had a question below regarding the installation of the apps. Are you saying that this will work without those extra steps if the apps are installed as part of that same package?
