    Windows Apps Not Working And WindowsApps Folder Is Malfunctioning


    Hii,


    Recently my all windows store apps have stopped working including photos, movies and tv, etc.


    This has let me in deep trouble because neither I can watch videos nor I can see maps and I also cant open WhatsApp and telegram.


    Whenever I open an app it closes on its own within a second and some apps display the error of access denied for file, path, etc.


    I changed the ownership of WindowsApps folder but I can only open it.


    I have lots of leftovers of deleted apps and games in WindowsApps folder but When I try to delete them it shows access denied even after I changed the ownership and security permissions.


    I am totally frustrated by these all.


    Please help...


    I want my apps to work back as normal.

    :)

    • Are you having issues with the Windows apps on your PC?

    WindowsApps folder says permissions are corrupted and need to be deleted, is this normal or critical?

    According to your description, I suggest you try the following steps:

    1. Navigate to the location C:\Program Files.
    2. Right-click on the WindowsApps folder, and select Properties.
    3. Turn to Security tab and click on Advanced.
    4. Click on Change and then type Users in Enter the object name to select area.
    5. Click on OK, then click Apply > OK. You can also add the TrustedInstaller to the users list and check if it takes effect.

    However, you might be still not able to access the files. The workaround is to go inside the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\, and repeat the same way with the Microsoft.WindowsStore* folders.
