How to open EAPPX file?
The main problem with Microsoft Windows Encrypted App Archive Format is that the EAPPX file is incorrectly associated with programs.

Programs to open EAPPX file
Remember to download programs supporting EAPPX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows 10 with EAPPX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EAPPX file still does not use the Microsoft Windows 10 program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the EAPPX file with the Microsoft Windows 10 application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows 10 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Windows 10 program, it is possible that Microsoft Windows Encrypted App Archive Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EAPPX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the EAPPX file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file EAPPX or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected EAPPX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the EAPPX file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EAPPX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file EAPPX except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the EAPPX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EAPPX file again. However, some background programs may block the EAPPX file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
