Windows 10: Can't open any apps and files in Windows 10

I can't open any games, apps, images, and files due to the missing .dll files (eg. VCRUNTIME140.dll, MSVCR110.dll). At first, I tried to re-register VCRuntime140.dll. I went to the Command Prompt and selected "run as administrator". However, after I clicked on "run as administrator", a window popped up and displayed "Windows cannot access C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe", error code 0x800704b3. I clicked on "diagnose" to identify the network problem, however another window popped up and displayed "An error occurred while troubleshooting", error code: 0x80070005.


I would gladly appreciate the help. Thank you very much.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Mail app will not open on 10041.


Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)
