petben Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 I am finding some (of course only some) users when they open Photos, calculator etc the apps open and then immediately close. Event ID 1000 gets logged. error: Windows Photos file system error (-2147219196) A different student (same OU, access rights etc) this doesn't happen. I've tried re-imaging the computer to a new 1089 image. I don't do anything to the apps when creating the image, (its just windows captured in MDT) I've tried reinstalling the apps using powershell: Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.Windows.Photos | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"} I do have the Windows Store disabled (using GPO) and UAC disabled which has been suggested a being a possible place to look at, but changing these has no effect. Ideas??
sted Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 iirc modern apps wont work if uac is turned off as they cant run in admin mode
petben Posted March 25, 2019 Author Posted March 25, 2019 OK, do I want them to run apps in admin mode? they are definitely not admins of the computers. It is strange if it was a permissions/gpo error then all users would be affected. at every reboot student user profiles (C:\users folders and profiles reg key) are deleted, so they are all identical users...

They also wont work when you log in as the user administrator because that user bypasses uac
gjdb Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 iirc modern apps wont work if uac is turned off as they cant run in admin mode Are you 110% sure about this statement? Because we have UAC disabled completely by GPO on all our devices and our students can use all those apps.
petben Posted March 28, 2019 Author Posted March 28, 2019 same here, UAC is off and for 50% of users builtin apps work.

UAC disabled, running calculator and photo`s.
titch Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Did anyone ever figure out a reason for this? We seem to be having the same problem. Only certain users on certain machines. Problems persists even after a delprof!
petben Posted June 19, 2019 Author Posted June 19, 2019 I found no pattern, reason or fixes for this, completely random. I ended up a few months ago making Windows Photo Viewer default for images, and waiting for 1903 to see if it fixes generally. I haven't looked at it since 1903 has been released... 1
TSEARS Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 I have just today found a solution to this issue after 2 days working on this straight (Rebuild wasn't a viable solution going forward) This is mainly a solution for admin and teaching staff that use the same machine as to do this for students would be a pain... 1. Login as local admin 2. load computer management and add 'Domain Users' to the 'Administrators' group 3. Log out and log in as the affected user (Don't restart as this will remove Domain Users from the Administrators group. 4. Load Powershell from the start menu, but right-click and run as admin. (This should promt Yes or No from UAC, if it asks for admin credentials this won't work, make sure the users is part of the group local administrators) 5. In the Powershell window, paste in the following and press enter (Run): Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"} 6. The App they were having issues with should now work. 7. Restart the computer, this should remove Domain Users from the Local Administrators group. This was mainly a solution for admin/teaching staff that use the same machine as Delpro did not resolve the issue. Hope this helps
TSEARS Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 I was thinking the same, I wouldn't want to disable it!
mavhc Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 If the user isn't an admin turning off UAC would make no difference. Who's got users who are local admins still?
