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 removed the app in PowerShell, but still after reinstall the app crashed. 

    I had to remove the faulty app's directory from where windows stores the apps. 

    X:\program files\windowsapps\ (hidden)

    After that reinstall again.

    App working again.

    I also tried everything on the list. Nothing solved the error.

    I downloaded 123 Photo Viewer from the Microsoft Store and it opens my image files fine.

    I hope microsoft developpers fix this issue.

    I didn't ask for new softwear and he didnt asked me if i wanted to install it.

    Any other suggestions? I have tried everything here- even multiple times in-case I missed something. It's still not working!
