(SOLVED) Win10 apps dead after running Windows Repair

<< < (8/8)

Julian:
hmmm open up power shell and try this command this will reset just the shell experience aka new startmenu..
--- Code: ---Get-appxpackage -all shellexperience -packagetype bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + “\appxmetadata\appxbundlemanifest.xml”)}
--- End code ---

Richvideo:
Thanks, I will give that a try when I get a chance, do you think that this reset might not be compatible if you are running Stardocks Start10 app?

Julian:
hmmm from what I see I don't think it should effect that because star docks start 10 would be a separate app and "shellexperience" is an app for the ui in windows 10 replacing the start menu and is separate from explorer.exe. give it a shot tell me what happens. and always be prepared to have stardocks start 10 backed up just in case. you never know what can happen I always prep for worst case scenario.

"backing up is slightly less important than your heart beat. don't repair without it."  -quote from windows repair backup tab.

I made a small contribution about this issue in a sticky at the start of this forum a while ago. Now I will try to follow this detailed thread, although much of it is too complicated for me so I hope you will eventually come to a simple solution I can cope with! My limited understanding is that there was a bug in the November update which gets triggered (usually) by PowerShell commands to re-register apps.  This is a quote from another forum:

"Never ever run that powershell command to repair apps. All it does it breaks apps that only a refresh can fix. You have been warned."
