  1. Built-In Windows Apps not Working/Installing


    I recently reset my PC in order to free up space and reinstall my games onto an SSD rather than a Hard Drive. But now my built-in windows apps are not opening and seem to not be installing. When I click on any program in the start menu, like windows store, mail, maps, etc. nothing happens other than underneath the shortcut a white bar appears, indicating that it seems like it needs to download. However, it never downloads or opens. I've looked at plenty of pages and tried many different solutions, however nothing works.


    Anything helps,

    Thanks

    :)

    Windows 10 Built in apps + UAC

    Hello,



    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft community. We understand your requirement in this regard.

    Please share these details.


    • On which Microsoft account you are trying to disable these apps?

    • When you say "we have an application in our company, which requires UAC to be disabled for it to work”. Which application you are referring to?

    • On how many computers you are facing this issue?

    • Are the systems connected to a domain network?

    • Is the issue specific to this application?


    You can see this error message “is app can't open with built in administrator account”, when you try to open built-in apps in built-in administrator. So you need a Microsoft account in order to make use of those built-in apps.



    Moreover, I see you already disabled the UAC as per the application requirement that you use as a part of your company. We don’t recommend disabling UAC on to help make your computer secure. However currently we don’t have any option to run those
    app with built-in administrator.



    I suggest that you provide your suggestions and feedbacks in the dedicated Feedback App. Follow these steps to provide suggestions in Windows Feedback App.

    At any time, select Start, and then type Windows Feedback to send us your opinions and suggestions. Windows Feedback is only available if you have Diagnostic and usage data set to Full (Full is the recommended setting).

    To change the Diagnostic and usage data setting, go to Start , then select Settings > Privacy > Feedback & diagnostics, and then, under Diagnostic and usage data, select an option.



    Thank you.
