Blocking Specific Windows Store Apps from changes
Hi all!
I have been having issues with third party Windows Store apps. I am running Windows 10 Pro, version 1607. The specific apps in question are Wifi Commander (which I purchased) and Netflix apps, but any third party app I try to install has the same issue. The problem I'm having is that when installing, I get a licensing error, 0xC004C007, and then the installation fails. FYI, this is the first time I've ever tried to install ANY of the Windows store apps on my computer.
I've tried every potential fix I could find on-line. I don't want to list them all for brevity purposes, but trust me, I've tried them all. I even contacted an MS tech who took control of my computer, tried several fixes and then finally told me to use the media creation tool to update my computer. That worked and was able to install and use the apps mentioned earlier, but when I restarted my computer, I was back to square one where when I opened either app, it displayed for about 1 second then crashed.
So with this said, I'm tired of wasting my time trying the myriad of so-called solutions on-line or using the MS media creation tool to repair my computer, all for 2 apps, only to have them crash the next time I turn my computer on. If I keep my computer powered without ever restarting, then yes the apps are good to go but is not a realistic solution. I don't know what changes are being made to these apps making them do this. It's definitely not changes I'm making unless you call clicking the power button to shut off my computer a change.
I rambled too much. How can I block changes from being made to the apps (such as changes/deletion of registry values, etc..)? I don't know what else I can do except try to block changes to them, if that's possible. If no updates or any other changes are made to them, they should work as they did before I shut off my computer correct? It's so ridiculous that this may be the solution I will have to resort to. Unbelievable.
Thank you!!
