Windows 10 apps won't open fully on first try - have to close and reopen for them to work

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.)

    creating the new power plan seems to have fixed the problem. uwp apps seem to be loading generally faster as well.

    i do believe you were the first to suggest 'make a new power plan' and i believe that acts to fix the problem. i do not believe that simply changing one of the parameters or any of the parameters, acts to fix this problem. in fact i do believe it will only work if you create a new plan, and there is nothing that can be set in the parameters to act on this problem.

    again, thank you.

    I took my computer to school about a month ago and ever since the problem was fixed. I do think that one of the power settings is the cause.
