Windows 10: "Alarms & Clocks" not working correctly

As above, this app is not working correctly in that no sound is produced at alarm time or end of countdown.


I have tried two fixes and neither worked.


This one: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4027498/microsoft-store-fix-problems-with-apps

and this one: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/notime/2013/10/18/fix-store-app-in-windows-8-1/


With the latter I get the following error:


Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.285]
(c) 2018 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\email>powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.XML

I really need this to work so any help would be appreciated.


Thanks.
