"Windows cannot find one of the files in this theme" annoying error

Re-registering accounts, All Apps, All users

- - - Updated - - -

Looks like I had to change browswer...strange...I did post quite a few screenshots from my "original" browser and there weren't any new add-ons since...anyway..

Some of the text is in Greek because my windows language interface is in Greek :)

I use Brave and Microsoft Edge; Brave had no issues to put screenshots for the first few posts (including the first Powershell re-registering all apps for current user from original account); yesterday night, Brave stopped letting me add screenshots. I then turned onto Edge this morning, again it didn't let me.

Turnt to Firefox, and it posted them. Brave and Edge run nearly the same add-ons, Firefox has none (not using it)...strange why Brave just stopped adding screenshots while it was OK before...maybe needs a re-start.

I will try deleting themes not from the folder and will check to run powershell command from Safe mode.

Thanks a lot!

OK, finally some progress..

I deleted most themes straight from "Themes" settings page, original profile. I left the default microsoft ones and two more that I purchased from Store 1-2 days ago.

The error stopped !!! Seems that deleting themes from the themes folder causes issues.

Then, decided to download from Store one of the themes previously installed and purchased two months ago (and could see in the Themes page) . The error returned and got nearly 70 reports just from this single download. Then I deleted the theme again (from Themes page) and the error gone again.

I then downloaded one more theme, purchased 1-2 days ago, the error returned and got nearly 70-80 error reports. Despite having clicked "yes, store the theme", strangely it did not appear on the themes page (and no more errors after that). Interestingly, the two themes purchased and still remain in the Themes folder (apart of microsoft default ones) were purchased on the same day as the one that gave another 70 error reports.

On my Stores library, I have many themes, some indicate "purchased on....", some indicate "modified on...)...funny enough, some that still appear "installed", do not appear on my Themes page...I wonder if this means that they are installed in other computers (none of which has this fault!)..

Hi,

I have tried the two PowerShell scripts (All apps / current user, All apps / all users) in Safe Mode...they are NOT running. I clicked PowerShell, run it as administrator, it opened normally, I pasted the script command, and immediately I get an error (see attached screenshot). The error reads "unable to start service in Safe Mode".

Both scripts (for current as well as for all users) do not run in Safe Mode..

I should also add I attepmted to execute in Safe Mode the invididual scripts for Stores and Settings..no joy. Screenshot attached.

Same error ("cannot start the service in Safe Mode"), in addition though it asked to specify a path. Put the info in the tutorial post too as requested...FreeBooter requested I save some code in Notepad in a .bat form and run as a bach script. Not sure what that means so asked for clarification.

However, should this were a "Stores"/Settings" issue, should it not manifest in ANY application purchased from Stores, and in ANY personalisation setting from "Settings" App? The issues seems to be specific in Themes files/folders and ONLY themes.

All downloaded apps work flawlessly. I wonder whether Windows is getting "confused" with any licencing issues or permissons, still I have 5 more computers (laptops), 1 more desktop, they are all onto the same Microsoft Account, and none off them has this issue..
