WU_E_UH_APPX_NOT_PRESENT

WU_E_UH_APPX_NOT_PRESENT means the update depends on the AppX or MSIX deployment infrastructure, but that infrastructure is not available in the current Windows installation.

What to check

Determine whether the device image removed or disabled AppX-related components.
Check the AppX deployment event log: Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\AppXDeploymentServer\Operational.
If the affected update targets Store or inbox app packages, verify that the servicing model for those apps is supported on the device.
