Updated to Version 1803 OS Build 17134.1

Now cannot open Photos, Groove, Calculator, and I'm sure a bunch of other apps....

Any help would be appreciated.

Open Start, type: powershell

Right click PowerShell

Click Run as administrator



Type the following command then hit Enter, exit PowerShell then restart, then try updating through the Store again.



Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($\_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

Check if you can launch the Microsoft Store, then update the apps.

If this does not work, I recommend you attempt a repair upgrade:

    I am running Windows 10 on a PC, and had the problem where I could not open a .jpg file. I got the same error "File System Error (-2147219196)". Thanks, this option worked for me. I tried another which did not work.

    Hello Leo,

    you are right a Redstone update can also solve such issues (but as always this is not guaranteed) ... however I didn't recommend it because it might break other stuff and can easily cause even more severe issues :). 

    But if you have time and a clone of your OS partitions, it is always worth a try, some otherwise unfixable network issue and a severe bug with the Windows Update (no updates were applied anymore) were simply gone after switching from RS3 to RS4 in my case.
