  1. Default Windows Applications Broken


    Whenever I try to open a Windows default app photos, calculator, xbox game bar, microsoft store, etc. it outputs the following error:

    "There’s a problem with [Insert Application Name]. Contact your system administrator about repairing or reinstalling it."

    I can't find a solution that seems to work for me and have tried everything i can think of.


    This one didn't help:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...e/47686acd-82aa-4021-93f9-0068505e56f9?page=1

    Nor did this:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4027338/microsoft-store-does-not-launch

    Nothing happened when following this:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...ws-store/535578bf-4c83-4c55-bd61-f023aad63a39


    If there is another solution you could recommend i would be very greatful.

    :)

    Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

    Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

    I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

    Might be helpful to list what i've done Default Windows Applications Broken :) I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

    I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
