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:

    Your installation has multiple issues which go beyond the actual problem of this thread. If you can't open Start it might be an issue with the graphic driver (this is what I have noticed the other day). You can do Windows + X, open elevated Powershell and run the suggested solution for app repair again. However, I assume you are facing multiple problems so you might have to tackle them independently. But start with a reinstall of the apps then try to uninstall / reinstall your graphics driver to latest version. If that doesn't work you can still try to rollback to a previous version or do an inplace update if nothing else solves the problem. This might finally fix it, if not you have to completely reset your installation...

    If Windows + X does not work you have more options to open an elevated Powershell see here

    Otherwise start Powershell (powershell.exe) from this path as Administrator

    %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0

    or

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0

    Andre, thanks for the help.  Nothing with a Mac is this this involved, which is why I am readying a hole in my yard for this Dell XPS from Satan.   My video files don't work.  Photo files work.  MP3's work. 

    I open start.  By this you mean, I start the computer?  Where do I type "powershell", please?  Assume I can only see the keys in front of me and know nothing of Windows, even though I have had this Windows laptop for a year.

    Thanks,

    jo

    Pressing "Windows" - Key is opening Start (the Startmenu) there you write Powershell and then open "Windows PowerShell". But you have to remember to do it with right click - Start as Administrator, otherwise you can't execute the command. When Powershell has started you paste the command and press enter. There is not much magic involved in the outlined procedure.
