windows 10 apps list will not open

Hi Jim,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to run the app troubleshooter and check if it helps.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/run-the-troubleshooter-for-windows-apps

If the issue still persists, then I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• 
  Open an Administrator CMD window. If you can’t find a way, use these steps:
  
  • 
    Press CTRL+Shift+ESC to open Task Manager.
    
  • 
    Click File > Run New Task
    
  • 
    Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
    
  • 
    Type CMD
    
• 
  Type the following commands at the CMD prompt:
  
  dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
  
  sfc /scannnow
  
• 
  If EITHER command does not show a good outcome, we need to stop and repair Windows. We have 3 options:
  
  • 
    Go Back: If there are other significant issues, or if the customer is not sure of using Windows 10, Go Back. The plan from there will be to clean up the configuration to prepare for an upgrade.
    
  • 
    Reset: If possible, remove Antivirus/Sec Software and perform a Reset (keeping data and settings). Customers will need to reinstall apps with this option.
    
  • 
    In-Place Upgrade: If the customer is unwilling, we can try uninstalling the Antivirus/Sec Software and try an in-place upgrade. We should set expectation.
    
• 
  If the above commands both completed and show no remaining issues, run these commands:
  
  powershell
  
  Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
  
• 
  Check to be sure this command ran, showed a blue progress indicator and then returns to the prompt.
  
  • 
    If you see a red error, then the command may have been typed or pasted incorrectly, or there may be a larger problem with Windows 10. Try again.
    
• 
  Check to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  • 
    If not, restart the PC. In this case try as a new administrator user account.
    
  • 
    If the new user also fails, go up to the steps for “3. If EITHER command does not show…” above. We need to repair Windows.
    

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

 

Windows 10 commands/shortcuts/env. var.

Win+X (or right click on Windows icon) isn't really useful anymore. MS removed classic control panel from the list and changed programs and features to Apps and Features. To get to Programs and Features you have to go to Apps and Features first (Metro UI) (it's in the top right corner).

And classic cmd also left the win+x and File list, you have to do it old way (win+r -> cmd -> enter).










Now it's easier to access Power Options directly from the taskbar.

 

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
