"The specified user does not have a valid profile" error on apps downloaded from Microsoft Store

Micah Hibdon 

I faced this same issue many a times recently, i read the current best answer but changing installation location might be not very practical for normal user's because they might face other issue's 

So in search of alternate solution i tried to access the read write permission of that folder and i found that while assigning the full access to the user i found out that the window showed an alert "Access Control Entry is Corrupt" you can see more on that on this forum https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/access-control-entry-is-corrupt/4e3d5500-5c7d-4839-be4f-c269705561ca and to fix the problem the forum redirected to me another microsoft support page https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/use-the-system-file-checker-tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system-files-79aa86cb-ca52-166a-92a3-966e85d4094e  by following this System File checker i was able to elimate the problem of valid profile.

So this method worked for me;

Please reach out for any queries related to this step.

Hope this will help!!!

Had no CloudPaging player. Solved by restarting the computer couple of times until Skype gets found by typing in the Start menu.

The issue reappears about 2 times a year, same actions help. Looks like something with app updates.

[just] Quitting the "CloudPaging Player" app [from sysTray] did solve this issue for me.

Same here, any news from Microsoft regarding fixing the issue?

Windows Version 10.0.17763 Build 17763

I am having the same problem while trying to open Sticky Notes. I mean, I had a lot of notes there and I never bothered to sysc them to the cloud (firstly because the laptop is not personal, it's from the company where I work).

First I had (and still have btw) a problem where I couldn't open the start menu, but I tried many things and they work one time only and then they stop working at all.
when I am able to get the UI working correctly and I open Sticky Notes I get that error (The specified...).

I also tried exporting the Sticky Notes store file, but no luck, I can't even find the folder (and is not because is hidden) there just isn't any folder that contais that store file.

the worst thing is I had a buch of notes ONLY on sticky notes for quite a while and I planned to use/read all of them today on a meeting but this frick started happening yesterday (after I tried to do tricks with RDP/RDC) so I wasn't able to tell jack shift.

so far I had no luck...

ftr, my OS is W10 v1803

Hope this will help.

Try with the below

Go to your task bar and find "cloud-paging player" (maybe hide in the arrow their) right click on it and exit.  After this every thing will work correctly.

This worked for me
