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

Hi all,   We just updated from 1607 to 1709 in our production environment.  I reimaged my machine recently to 1709 and went to the Windows Store to download the Windows Configuration Designer app. ...

    I solved the problem by moving the folder with the install files from the WindowsApps (which is hidden by default) into a user folder (e.g. Documents) and start the executable from there.

    WindowsApps directory seems to have insufficient permissions for standard users after the OS Release in April . At least ubuntu is now running again without any problem. I am using 1803 Build 17134.1

Hi sergey_voronov1745 

 

The problem is not exactly related to Windows. I have exactly the same problem with AppsAnywhere, the only way to get it solved is by waiting for a new release of CloudpagingPlayer, our University IT team gave me this information:

 

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for getting in touch with us about this.

Unfortunately, the issue is related to the version of CloudpagingPlayer (a component of AppsAnywhere) that is currently in use. We've been waiting on the release of a new version from the supplier, which resolves this issue, and we've scheduled the update to happen over the Easter break.

Until this has happened, unfortunately, this is a known issue that we're not able to resolve immediately.

Regards,

 

Kind regards,

 

Carlos

    careduroI too experienced this when using CloudPagingPlayer.  I had to install it for something for my University, but I uninstalled it and everything works fine.

    careduro , I don't have CloudPagingPlayer, and the workaround "move apps install dir to another place" fails due to absence of system rights :-)

      sergey_voronov1745 if you don't have rights to any workaround, I suppose you cannot uninstall any program neither. Maybe you should contact your administrator to fix the issue.
