    Windows Photos App won't open; says trial license is expired

    The Windows Photos app suddenly refuses to open.

    It first says "There's a problem with Photos. Contact your System Administrator about repairing or reinstalling it".

    After clicking OK the next error dialog says "This app failed to launch because its trial license expired".

    How do I fix this? If I go to Settings => Apps & Features the "Uninstall" button is disabled. It seems to be a core component of Windows that cannot be uninstalled and reinstalled. There is no repair option listed.

    The
    app store listing
    does not list anything about a paid version or trial version which leads me to believe some Windows built-in licensing mechanism just screwed up and there isn't actual a trial license that expired.

  3. Activation of app Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App failed with error trial license has expired

    Hi!

    After some restoration of the Windows 10 registry all works fine but application Store doesn't start. It is cashed immediately. An arror can be seen in the event log for the application :

    Activation of app Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App failed with error: This app failed to launch because its trial license has expired. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.

    Source: Microsoft-Windows-Immersive-Shell

    <EventData>

    <Data Name="AppId">Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App</Data>

    <Data Name="ErrorCode">-2144927139</Data>

    </EventData>

    I have already tried to add (All application packages) permissions to WindowsApps folder but no success.

    Any suggestions how to resolve this?

    ++It seems like others apps downloaded via the Windows Store also can't be started with complain on expired trial license

    Newly installed Windows 10 Pro: This app failed to launch because its trial license has expired

    I've just updated my Win 8.1 Pro to Windows 10. An update visible was absolutely succesful. But after I logged in new Win10 interface, I've found out that system does not respond on my click on "Start" button. Neither it allows me to search. And so on. Event
    Viewer shows a lot of errors of two types:

    Activation of the app Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy!CortanaUI for the Windows.Launch contract was blocked because its trial license has expired.

    Activation of the app Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy!App for the Windows.Launch contract was blocked because its trial license has expired.

    %$#%#! I had licensed and activated 8.1 PRO windows. According to system information, newly installed win 10 is activated as well. What this all about? What trials?!

    Reboot doesn't help. Windows is unusable until this is fixed, and I have no idea where to look. Should I rollback?

    P.S. By the way, I cannot start Edge as well. It crashes with "This app can't open".
