Windows10 fails to update store apps

<< < (2/3) > >>

Boggin:
Well it usually works for me.

As you are changing major hardware in your computer, you may have to contact MS for activation.

Brama:
As it is not an OEM Windows, I can do it.  :wink:
Thanks anyway for the warning.

Boggin:
You may still have to do it anyway because the license will be registered to the previous hardware, but see how you go.

Brama:
Hi,
I tried during the WE some deep investigations and tests:

- disabling some driver I was able to rebuild my windows 10 installation by the Microsoft official Windows 10 distribution, chosing to keep apps and files. It ended with a working O.S. but every app is not present, except the system apps (cortana and 3 more) that are located in \Windows\SystemApps\

- I used a new local user built only for tests

- I disabled firewall

- I got the ownership and permission as user logged on of hidden folder \Program Files\WindowsApps\

- I tried to reinstall store by the powershell commandlet that registers again the apps, using AppxManifest.xml. The system apps are registered correctly, other apps that are in folder \Program Files\WindowsApps\ ended with a generic error 404 of AppxDeployment-Server, saying that app manifest is not in the root. I checked and the file AppxManifest.xml IS in the root.

- I searched for hours in internet but I was not able to find anything related to apppackage server error 404


Keep going but it is really a mess.

Boggin:
Can you create a system image onto external media of what you have now and then run the fixes for repairs 28 and 29 in the Windows Repair program to see if that sorts your apps.

When running in Safe Mode with Networking you will need to wire up for Internet connectivity.
