This way, you can use the registry key to indicate to your deployment whether or not to install the app while you're upgrading it. - - When you remove a provisioned app, we create a registry key that tells Windows not to reinstall or update that app the next time Windows is updated. If the computer isn't online when you deprovision the app, then we don't create that registry key. (This behavior is fixed in Windows 10, version 1803.
