Windows 10: All Windows Apps Calculator, Alarms, Store etc only take up 16.0Kb of space and don't launch.

I've reinstalled Windows using a clean install which only keeps personal files, and I've reinstalled windows using the iso method that keeps files and programs. I've tried a lot of fixes up to this point as well, I'll try and list them below:

* Ran the registry fixer on ccleaner
* Tried to run wsreset.exe
* Went through the vast majority of fixes on this webpage https://windowsreport.com/windows-store-doesnt-open-windows-10/, including the powershell commands sfc /scannow which successfully runs with no issues
* Cleared the windows store cache

None of these have fixed the issue, if I try to launch the Microsoft Store it just immediately closes itself, I ran a command to download the store again

Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$$_.InstallLocation\AppXManifest.xml"}

and get this error: https://i.imgur.com/J8j2fIt.png.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Window's 10 Calculator won't launch

Hi Dan,

There could be a number of factors as to why you are having issues launching the Calculator app on Windows 10. This could be caused by a software conflict or due to the application itself.

You may consider resetting the Calculator app. To do this, refer to the steps below:

• Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & feature.
  
• Click the Calculator app from the list and then choose Advanced options.
  
• Click Reset.

If the issue persists, I suggest that you create a new user account. This is for us to check if the issue is due to a corrupted user profile. To do this, select the Start button, then select
Settings > Accounts > Family & other people > Add someone else to this PC.

Let us know how it goes and we'll assist you further if needed.
