"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
Any Idea what the root cause of this could be? it randomly happens in both Win 10 and Win 11, Usually resolved by Windows updates, Sometimes comes back.
