General Computer Support / All apps except Edge broke after fixing permissions with 'Windows Repair'

« on: November 30, 2016, 05:20:51 am »

Hey there, something messed with my permissions a while ago and it stopped Edge from starting correctly (among other things like Installers not working always).

I ran Tweaking.com's Windows Repair to reset all permissions and everything else

it fixed Edge, it starts again - but all other apps are greyed/blacked out and have a little exclamation mark now

Including the built in photo viewer and the media player. The media player will say "The remote procedure call failed" while every other app just says "This app can't open"

Here is the event from the event viewer from trying to start the store app

Code: [Select]

Faulting application name: WinStore.App.exe, version: 11610.1001.10.0, time stamp: 0x581a88a7
Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 10.0.14393.321, time stamp: 0x57f4c4f0
Exception code: 0x00000004
Fault offset: 0x0000000000017788
Faulting process id: 0x1f6c
Faulting application start time: 0x01d24b0c558c0086
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsStore_11610.1001.10.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\WinStore.App.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\System32\KERNELBASE.dll
Report Id: f1dd577d-30fa-4df1-a923-a8f46c720eab
Faulting package full name: Microsoft.WindowsStore_11610.1001.10.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
Faulting package-relative application ID: App

Judging by process explorer it's not just apps that obviously have a problem with the reset permissions but also programs and services including Windows Defender (MsMpEng.exe) - usually Access Denied errors


please help!
