Windows 8.1 - apps close immediately after opening

Anonymous

None of the Windows 8 apps will fully load.

After clicking on an app, the loading screen appears for about a second, and then it goes back to the (metro) menu.

I can still see these apps as open on the left-side bar.

This happened after the installation of 50 windows updates.

    I've created a new (local) account and this account has the same problem as mine (= Microsoft account)

    Hi,

     

    As a work around, I would suggest you to create a new user account and check the issues status on newly created user account. This might help you to analyze the issue.

     

    Create a user account.

    Hope this helps.

    I created a new use account and the apps seem to be working on this one.  How can I now find out what and where to correct my original user account?  

    Thanks.

    No error message.

    Any app I open closes immediately (windows store included).

    I can see the app when I move the mouse to the left of the screen but I cannot open it.

    I've posted some messages I see in the logs in the posts above.

    It's a win 8 pc and I installed the win 8.1 update, after that everything was ok, but a few days later I installed windows updates (more then 50) and that caused this.

    I tought Windows 8.1 would solve the windows 8 problems for me, like the bad syncing of the mail program, but the same syncing problems occured in windows 8.1 and now it even made my whole computer useless by disabling every app.

    I tought that maybe today I would be able to install another windows update to fix the problem, but no such thing. My computer is up to date but useless.

    Maybe I can throw my pc out of the window and buy me a mac. Thats a workaround that will fix my problem.

    I REALLY AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN MICROSOFT.
