Windows 8.1 - apps close immediately after opening

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.

    Having exact same problems.  Running Windows 8 with two users.  only is affecting one user.  Trying the  "System File Checker tool (SFC.exe)" now.

    I dunno, but I'm having exactly the same problem, and I have to say, unless I see articles singing praises for Windows 10 across the board, Microsoft really is going to have to get evicted as a household name from my home!

    And still no solution. I wonder how Crybaby did with his Mac?

    32-Bits Applications

    Some of the apps are 32-bits and probably your PC is 64-bits.
