Registry backup
Boggin:
Did you shutdown then reboot after removing the .old folder and did you not do the attrib WindowsApps -h cmd after, as the folder is hidden.
When you did the restore, did that take you back to before you copied the folder over from the other computer or do you have a restore point that will ?
I think the Windows Repair program should repopulate the folder when it does the store repair.

I did a shutdown and reboot.
Nope I would have had to drop back more than 3 months to ensure a clean restore point.
After the clean out of Wwindowsapps restore points worked going forward. Prior to today restore points did not work period.
Going to try windows repair program but first create a restore point.
Here goes!
Boggin:
Yes I know - it sounds like a Catch 22 with restore points if they will work.
Rather than trusting to restore points I'd create a system image onto external media, but the program will auto create a registry back up prior to running the repairs, although you can do that manually to be sure.

Hi once more. Ran the Tweak repair it did not fix the problem. I am not able to select default apps from each apps' drop down menu. Not sure what to try next. I actually have an image from before I started all of this where restore points did not work but I could recover an image. Have to see what my friend suggests. If you have any other ideas that I could try to get the default apps changed to what I want and to get the 43 apps showing as available.
Thanks for all of you ideas so far.
Paul
Boggin:
I'd use the system image and then go through the procedure again to rename WindowsApps to .old and then delete .old - you've had plenty of practice :)
