calculator app for windows 10 not working

So yeah, would love any help anyone could provide. I'm already taking a whole day off to figure out how to fix this issue (I rely on Windows Store apps, primarily UWP apps for my job). I also cannot reinstall windows from scratch because this is the computer I use for work and personal purposes. I did manage to get the Store tile to show up under 'Explore' on the left side of the Start menu when I click start in my second user account but again, upon clicking it, nothing at all happens.Īnybody know what I should do? I can't revert to 1803 because I had to run the install repair this morning so that build is bye-bye unfortunately (not to mention reverting to 1803 would've been a nightmare in and of itself for me anyway) so that's not even an option at this point. Any time I try to search for the Store app in either account, I can't find it, even through settings. Whenever I run WSReset with the Admin or second user account, when WSReset finishes it just brings up a window asking me to select the default app to use to run ms-windows-store. Thing to note: On both the Admin and new user accounts, the Windows Store is apparently not even considered to be installed for some reason. I've tried doing all of these things on the builtin Admin account as well, same results all around. Nothing happens upon clicking a UWP app image. I've tried making a new user account and tried running the app from there, running a UWP app from the new user account doesn't even yield the window opening up with the app's logo on it. I've tried WSReset which just throws me the error message of 'ms-windows-store: PurgeCache, The app didn't start' after running every time. I've tried re-registering/reinstalling the Store app with PowerShell (process completes but app still doesn't open). I'm back to square one of not being able to open any of the UWP apps. I did that and have at least fixed everything I broke last night. I tried a laundry list of solutions last night for about 5 hours and I just ended up making things worse so I was suggested to run a repair install of my windows installation using the Media Creation Tool.

I did that and now none of my UWP apps (except edge and settings) will only open a window with their logo on it and close within 3-5 seconds of doing so. On a suggestion from a thread I was reading through to help fix the problem, one suggestion was to reset the Windows Store app through settings. Though it still wouldn't run after reinstalling. Long story short, I manually uninstalled the xbox app and was able to download and install it from the Windows Store. When I did that, for some reason Windows considered the app uninstalled. I did some troubleshooting and tried resetting the app through Settings.

I updated from 1803 to 1809 a couple of days ago and noticed that my Xbox App wouldn't open when I clicked on the icon.
