Windows Apps such as the Windows Store, Calculator app, Skype app, and Mail app usually do not open fully on the first try. The app window will show up, but the functions are not available. I will only see the logo of the app in the center of the solid theme color.
However, if I close the window and reopen the app, it will work fine.
Does anyone know how to fix this so that an app will open normally the first time?
(I have attached a picture of the Calculator app to demonstrate the problem.)

If you've tried all the solutions posted in this thread, our option now it to uninstall and reinstall Windows apps using Powershell. For the complete steps and command line for Windows apps reinstallation, see the post of Meliton Dec on this thread (third step).
Let us know how it went after troubleshooting.
