Like many others I've run into the "taskbar stops working" issue. And, while that issue is still not fixed, during an attempt to fix the problem - more stuff got broken.
I've run the following command in powershell as administrator: (Since many suggested that would fix it, it did not.)
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
Which resulted in windows downloading/updating some stuff, giving a few errors but on overall seeming to work - but most of all, it killed a number of my apps.
Specifically: windows store, calculator and more. See:
They're just showing up as blank panels now.
Windows can no longer automatically update the "broken" apps anymore either :
(See the warning about calculator in the bottom)
I'm a bit at a loss of things to try. I've updated windows with the latest fixes available this week, so far as it was able.
How can I remove the broken apps, and/or ensure they get reinstalled properly? (Without doing a full windows reinstall, and having to reinstall visual studio, office, etc)
