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:

    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 

    I found that same file. But what exactly did you do, sorry?

    Ok, so I changed the permissions using a program, and it worked.

    Thanks!

    I also got the same problem and none of the solutions mentioned above works for me.

    The Photo app was working fine until the latest update on June 18th.

    Hi,

    I've tried to follow your steps, but nothing happens!

    I've also tried to uninstall and reinstall the app!
