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 made a few copies of my master reference image (fat) and recreated this issue numerous times. Tried allot of different fixes reported here earlier today.  The only way the  photos app worked after the update was when i had it open while applying. 

    I will try the permissions tomorrow just for fun.

    Solved this problem

    I change permission rules to folder 

    C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Windows.Photos_2018.18051.17710.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe (but its only my version PhotographyApp and you need finde correct folder name in your system log events) im add my User to owners of this foldier 

    In my case, I can't even access the WindowsApps folder - I'm told I don't have permission. I can open up the Security tab and futz with the settings, but I don't have the foggiest idea of what do do. Any suggestions? I'm a bit confused as to why this is the case, as I'm the only user of this computer - I should have admin permissions in everything.

    I can confirm that this method worked for me too, something had corrupted with the permissions for the WindowsApp folder for 'Users' and it asked me to delete and re-create.

    It's a bit fiddly to do, but removing the permissions and setting them again worked great for me, Photos now works again!

    I'll try to make a video tutorial if I can
