What about the localization factor, any chance it has to do something with that ? Cortana would not work unless you assign the same language everywhere, I run an english w10 with some french keyboard region, so does that matter ?
On top of this windows store is not working anymore, any idea ?

The store is dead after running the powershell command, I havent tried putting the folders back and running the command directly on the folder. But the fact that it is deleteing the files means there is no way to reinstall the apps back, it isnt suppose to be doing that. So besides getting the files from another install I dont have an answer as this bug was never in the older windows 10 and this is something that is only a few days old. I wonder if MS is even aware of it yet.

It doesnt look like it has anything to do with the system as I am doing this in vmware with everything English.

Ok I am going to make an update and release it first thing in the morning. I am going to have the program check for the current build of Windows 10 and have it auto skip the repair app store repairs until this bug is fixed on microsofts side.

From the looks of it the app install thinks a newer version of those apps are install when there isnt and so deletes them. So it might be a bug in the apps themselves, not sure yet, but till then I cant have people thinking my program did it lol

Look for 3.6.5 to be release din the morning.

Alright thanks a lot you figured out everything already :O. In the meanwhile I've done a reinstall of Win10 Threshold 2 and tried to minimize getting errors once again but there will always be errors it seems :)
Great it'll get a update to prevent this in the future so nobody will get our problem when they're trying to fix Win10 ^^

I did actually run WR after the clean install of Threshold 2 because there was apps with errors already but WR fixed it while keeping the stuff that caused our trouble unmarked, neither did I need to reset them anyway.

Looks like Windows 10 still needs tons of bug fixes, just like this bug I reported which is still not fixed in Threshold 2 luckily it has a temp workaround

But I wonder if Microsoft is even aware of bugs we report here...

Shane:
I dont think my little corner of the net has anyones interest over at Microsoft lol

But all I know is, that after each update they do all I have to do is run that powershell command and see if it continues to kill the apps. Once it doesn't I will re-enable it in the program.

Thankfully by having windows 10 in vmware I can just copy the image to run the test on and I wont have to reinstall anything :-)

I know 10 isnt going anywhere and the OS with the app store is here to stay, but I wont be switching from windows 7 for at least the first year so they have time to get these bugs worked out. MS has to many programmers, to many fingers in the pot and released an OS that wanst finished. So I will give it time before I switch to it.

Yeah I know they wont see this ^^ but I mean the answers.microsoft.com which they don't seem to notice too. Maybe the only thing they check is the Feedback tool.

For me Windows 10 atm sure is faster and has nice new features I actually wanted and use but is surprisingly instable compared to the Windows 8 release.

Btw thx for the fast help and great software I've bought the full version, I'm sure it'll be of great help.
