[1809, ou] Apps not working - calc, gallery etc

[tech-man]

Hello

 

It seems since some windows updates some apps such as calculator, photo gallery no longer work... they seem to load and close straight anyway. Does anyone have any ideas.

 

Thanks

You're not alone but AFAIK no-one's found a solution that isn't stop using roaming profiles (if you're not using RPs then that's a new twist).

We've had this with a few PC's, only issue from memory was running a few things on CMD, I'll see if I can find them online but the way the apps are installed you need to run some commands to get them back to normal etc

Yeah we have had this, also when some of the apps update from store. Have to delete some registry keys. Powershell for this is:

 

Get-ChildItem 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModel\StateChange\PackageList' | ForEach{Remove-Item ("Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::" + $_.Name)}

 

May want to test it on one machine first before deploying it to everything.

We don't use roaming profiles.... profiles are cleaned off machines after x days. We use UE-V.

 

Very odd and annoying! Any further thoughts?

We are the same as you local profiles and UEV, the powershell above worked for us.
