Windows app stop working after update
Calc, Photos, Microsoft Store and maybe others stop working after an automatic update. Fail to remove the update, and non of the methods found on internet work, including a repair-installation of Windows.
- johnxiaCopper ContributorUpdate: Microsoft Store is actually working. However, after remove Photos and install it again, it still doesn't work. The windows flashes a moment the closes with an error message "File system error (-2147219196)".
- johnxiaCopper ContributorI got solution from another thread:

Microsoft didn't issue official released yet, I used the method some one posted to download the package from a 3rd party website. It's up to you to decide if it's safe.
Try executing this command in Windows PowerShell, see if it helps:
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
- johnxiaCopper ContributorI think I did it before, for many times. I still gave it a try, and unfortunately the result is still the same.
