1] Re-Register the Windows Store Apps
- Before proceeding, please make sure that you have Windows Firewall Service up and running. What’s needed for this to work.
- Open PowerShell console as an administrator. To do this, press Windows Key on your keyboard and type in powershell. Right-click Windows Powershell (Desktop App) and select Run as administrator. Select Yes in the UAC window that pops up.
- Enter the below command in the Powershell prompt:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
Hit Enter and let the process run to its completion.- Relaunch the Universal apps for which you were getting the error. It should be resolved by now.
2] Reset Windows Apps

- Locate the app and click on the three-dot vertical menu
- Click on Advanced options
- Scroll and look for the Repair and Reset option

- Locate Windows Store apps and then click on the Run button to start troubleshooting
- Once the process completes, relaunch the app and check if the problem is resolved

The last option is to run the System File Checker to replace any corrupt system file with a new one. The built-in tool can scan the entire OS for such corrupt files and replace them with new copies so the applications can launch without an issue.

You need to be logged in as an Administrator or launch Powershell in Administrator mode. If you don’t have an Administrator login you need to talk to whoever set up the machine.
