A few apps crash/close as soon as they are started.
Hi guys, so a few apps are giving me issues and I can't seem to fix them.
Problems:
Apps that completely crash or close out when I start them: Xbox, People, Phone Companion. Groove Music and Movies and TV crash on startup 99% of the time, but for whatever random reason they have opened up once or twice since I noticed the crashing and didn't crash, only to crash again when I close and reopen them.
Other: Money opens and stays open, but it says that an error has occured and clicking the refresh this page button does nothing. Weather opens, but the entire screen is blank except for a little blue circle.
The rest of the stock apps seemingly work as intended.
What I've tried:
I've tried everything I know of.
Doing this gives me this same error for most apps as the command was executing. When it's finished, it does the exact opposite of what it intends to do and breaks most apps. I've tried this a few same command a few times, sometimes the problem apps like Xbox and Groove Music work, but the rest don't. Other times most apps don't work at all. I've also tried manually removing the problem apps through Powershell and reinstalling them from the Windows store, but they still crash at startup. Wsreset.exe also does nothing either. No updates for windows or the apps in the store. I'm able to start over and try again thanks to a restore point where only the apps I listed above are broken.Code:Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
Possible causes:
I can only think of one instance that might have caused this. I downloaded and used Destroy Windows Spying, but I only selected certain options. I also added a registry key to disable Telemetry and stopped two services called Connected User Experiences and Telemetry and dmwappushsvc since I didn't want to delete them which the tool would've done. That is where my restore point is from, and unfortunately I don't have any restore points before that. I can't think why this would mess up certain apps, I did have the deletion of Metro apps disabled in the tool afterall. I have done nothing else to my computer lately, so it was either this or the Threshold 2 update.
Does anyone have more suggestions I haven't thought of, or had a similar issue but was able to fix? Thank you!
