Certain Universal Apps aren't working
This is not your typical "My modern apps don't work" post. Some of my apps are working fine, for instance Edge and Mail. Others, do not, such as the Windows Store, Weather, Photos, etc...
I've tried all the various tricks to uninstall and re-install these apps, but get the same thing. The Event Log says that the apps can't be "activated", which indicates some kind of licensing issue perhaps, but I haven't found the solution yet.
This is Windows 10 Enterprise 14388 build. It's joined to a domain, and I strongly suspect that my domain admins have a group policy that is interfering, but I can't be sure. They had already disabled Microsoft Accounts, and turned off Telemetry via group policy and registry settings, which I have countered by forcing these back on and denying update access to those keys. I suppose it's possible that this might be affecting the apps as well, but it's strange that some apps work and some don't.
Any suggestions? SFC and Dism cleanups report no issues or corruption. App re-installs seem to complete fine, but the apps still don't work. UAC is, of course, ON.
