Built in apps crashing in build 10547 (with abnormal symptoms?)
Hi, i got a lot of help when i was on the windows 8 forums, now getting help here
I went back to Build 1047 from the latest preview build (10565) due to system stability issues.
The restore went fine, all my files and settings stayed.
The problem happened a few hours after restoring.
I needed to preview a photo that needed photoshopping for a personal project.
I tried to open the photo, but the built in photo app won`t open for some reason
The same thing happened for videos and a few other.
The insider hub, contact support, and setting opened just fine.
The icons are blank for some reason. (Showed in attached thumbnail)
For example, when I wanted to open a photo, it show a error like this
Windows cannot find "C:\users\Name\desktop\something.png". Make sure that you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
The file exists and does open fine in windows photo viewer.
Same thing with videos
It will open fine in Windows Media Player and VLC.
I have contacted the support team at Microsoft for any solution. The guy on the support line said that it should be a hardware issue, not a software issue.
Any guesses on what caused this issue? (I think the app files may got corrupted during restoration to the previous build) A fast reply would be helpful (I need this thing back up as soon as possible to get work done)
