Windows 10: All Windows 10 modern apps minimizing automatically

I am stuck with this horrible and frustrating issue that causes all Windows 10 modern apps to automatically minimize within seconds of opening/maximizing it. I have confirmed that this only affects Windows/Microsoft apps like Mail, Settings, Store, Photos, News, etc. 3rd party apps like Slack are not affected by this issue. Edge browser was also plagued with this issue until I updated to the new chromium version after which it has stopped minimizing.


What I tried:

Other accounts on the computer are not affected by this problem, so I created another account and copied all my old profile C:\Users\<my-profile> folder contents to my new profile and restarted the PC. Signed into my new profile, and then signed into the store app with my Microsoft account. Almost immediately the app minimizes again. I am not sure if this is because I signed in with my Microsoft account or because I restarted my laptop.


I ran sfc \scannow, DISM.exe, WSReset.exe with no avail. Please help. I don't want to create a new profile and lose all my data.


Other Info:

Dell XPS 13 9350

Windows 10 Education with latest updates installed

All accounts are local accounts, and I sign in into apps individually with my Microsoft account.

How do I start Modern UI apps (calendar and mail) minimized when Windows 10 starts?

When I log onto Windows 10 I would like both the Calendar and Mail applications to start minimized.

I can make them start automatically by:

1. Clicking on the Windows icon
   
2. Clicking on "All apps"
   
3. Finding the app I want
   
4. Clicking and dragging it to my Startup folder (found by running shell:startup)
   

and this works just fine.

However when I edit the properties of the shortcut and change the "Run" option to "Minimized" then this is completely ignored by Windows.





How do I get Windows 10 to run these Metro/Modern UI apps minimized?

 

Upgraded to Windows 10, Xbox app opens and immediately closes

Hi,

• Are you facing the same issues with other app also?

The Modern app troubleshooter can automatically identify and fix some problems with apps and the Store.

I would suggest you to refer the steps from the below article and check if it helps.
