Could you define "Local" Apps?

Where are you getting them from? Are they on Internal Storage? SD card?

Signed or unsigned?

If you are trying to install things that are not compatible with your model, or which ceased to work under 10 it would cause this message.

Stick to the STORE ...

Xap must be deployed via deploying pc app, cannot be simply "open to install" like and exe desktop file

I'm hoping this little info helps someone researching side loading their UWP app. I just learned that since the anniversary edition of Windows 10, you can now side load the *.appx file found in the compiled Release folder (..\bin\x64\Release\) by simply double-clicking it. It is a very clean way to install your app on another machine and not have to copy the entire contents of the latest App Store build from the AppPackages folder and run the PowerShell script. Yes, the appx file can be deployed by itself and no other files are needed. This is much cleaner, but not geared for production release a customer would use though. I still think the Windows Store is the best solution or using Visual Studio Team Services. I couldn't believe how easy it was and it is so much cleaner. You do need to have your app signed though and of course Side Loading needs to be turned on at least.
