    Help! Random apps are opening and closing every second


    Have a Lenovo laptop that has apps popping open and closing constantly. Can’t even seem to get to the bar to type in anything. It may be Bing driven as that seems to be the main thing opening and closing, but other apps PPT etc do the same. No idea what to do.

    Store App opens loads for about a second then closes


    1. Go to "This PC"
    2. Double click "OS (CHelp! Random apps are opening and closing every second :)"
    3. Open "Users"
    4. Open your username (The Profile you are currently working in)
    5. Open "AppData"
    6. Open "Local"
    7. Open "Packages"
    8. Open "Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe"
    9. Open "LocalCache"
    10. Delete the entire folder, with contents, you see there.
    For those who didn't want/need a step by step:
    C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache
    Then delete the one folder in LocalCache.
    And that's pretty much it. Opened store and no issues after. Also if anyone is having issues with the Mail App, if you have AVG, it's the firewall on that so just turn it off and mail will start syncing. Hope this helps everyone.

  3. Apps start for a second and closes

    after my update to windows 11, most apps are not functioning anymore.

    They open for 1 second and close or they put an error (for example the photos app is now corrupt and I can't open images)

    Please I need a help top this I've tried everything on google such as

    • Update the Apps
    • Update Windows 11
    • Run Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter
    • Repair/Reset/Reinstall the Apps
    • Run the Windows Update Service

    Help! Random apps are opening and closing every second

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Help! Random apps are opening and closing every second :)

    In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

    • Open powershell as administrator
    • Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
    • Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)
