Windows 10 Apps Blocked

[ITGURU]

I've upgraded my PC to Windows 10 and I am a member of the computer local admins group.

 

Whenever I try to launch any apps i get

 

This app can't open - can't be opened using the built in admin account.

 

I am logged in as my domain account NOT the domain admin

 

how do i allow my account to access the apps as it prevents me from using photo viewer, calendar etc

 

thanks.

Go to Run, GPEdit.msc, Windows Settings, Security settings, Local Policies, security options, User Account Control: admin approval mode for the built-in administrator account - set to enabled.

Did that but also have to re-enable the UAC as had it set to never notify.

 

Another issue i now have is that when i click on the date/time corner, the calendar doesnt pop up but I can now access the Apps from the start menu.

If the calendar doesn't pop up - and I assume neither your Settings app works, either, then you need to rebuild your workstation. I've no idea which cumulative update did it (Jan/Feb '17) but I figured it's better to rebuild than spend days on the problem.

The settings app works fine and only installed win10 a week ago and just got all the software installed!
