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.)

any chance you could share your power settings with me ? I tried creating a new plan too but the problem still persists...
p.s. did you have hibernate enabled before? I have a feeling this has something to do with the hibernate option as that is something I remember playing with recently...been facing this problem for the last couple of days. Tia
yeah i created a power settings called hot. i turned off all sleep type settings. i set it all to performance settings. just choosing the generic performance settings did not work for me.
side note. none of these solutions affected the clipboard issue between access and edge.
oh alright! I was actually looking for a power profile which would help me make use of sleep mode as and when required automatically...but i'll be sure to give your solution a try...also, i ended up disabling hibernation and that seems to have fixed the problem for now.
do you ever get a blank screen when trying to wake your system from sleep? it takes me almost a minute to get my system to wake from sleep at times.
Also, what exactly is the clipboard issue you're facing with edge?
have to paste the clipboard off of access into notepad or word, and then copy it again and paste it into edge. I've posted the issue with microsoft. they haven't fixed it in the last year. die hard ms fan coder, but I see no hope in getting either of these issues fixed in good time.
Yeah, it's completely stopped working now. Latest update screwed whatever the bizarre workaround was doing and if course there's no actual help MS but endlessly regurgitating this ~run this useless scanner~ BS. I'm not your goddamn beta tester. Getting really tired of this crap.
