After an update, Microsoft Store and several other apps such as Photos and Calculator stopped working. Clicking on them would open a window's frame for a split second, then immediately disappear without any error message.
I also noticed that in the pictures' properties, at the "Open with" line, Photos had been replaced by "TWINUI".
After a quick googling it appeared the problem was related to incoherences in the apps packages, however none of the guides I followed worked for me.
Another symptom was that the app's names weren't displayed in Windows' program list, instead they were shown as follow :
There are different suggestions that I found on the Internet, but none of them are relevant in my situation :
- sfc /scannow
- dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
In powershell : Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
