Windows 10: Did I mess up my Windows 10 apps by reseting to often and trying to fix it via Powershell...

Steps for fixing broken apps in Windows 10

 

Does anybody how to fix the windows 10 store apps, using the powershell?

Store Apps?

These procedures can be used to fix issues with These win 10 apps. Mail, Calendar, Cortana, Start menu, and Settings. It probably will work for others but I have only tested it with these.

Solution 1: Re-register this App:

• Run Windows PowerShell as Administrator.
• Type Get-AppxPackage, press Enter.
• From the output list, find the Mail App (or whatever app you are trying to fix) and remember the
  InstallLocation.
• Type this command: Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_17.6120.42011.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxManifest.xml"}
• It would run as below:

Solution 2: If re-registering the App does not resolve your issue, Try reinstalling the App.
Step 1: Uninstall it completely

• Run Windows PowerShell as Administrator.
• Type Get-AppxPackage, press Enter.
• From the output list, find Mail App package and remember its PackageFullName as below:
• And then type the following command: Remove-Appxpackage –Package microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_17.6120.42011.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

Note: After running this command in Windows 10, the Mail icon still appear in the App list and Start menu. However, you cannot click to launch it. Just ignore and continue next step.
Step 2: Reinstall the App from Windows Store
