Windows 10: I messed up my windowsappfolder how to restore it to default?.

Hi,

A few days ago I downloaded an app (Black notepad) from the Microsoft store but it didn't work correctly I thought I could fix it somehow by going to where it's installed and doing something... I searched and found that apps from Microsoft store are installed in the hidden folder C:\Program Files\WindowsApps.

I couldn't access that folder so I had to change ownership from TrustedInstaller to my account after doing that I couldn't find a way to fix Black notepad so I gave ownership back to TrustedInstaller and moved on.

Today I noticed that my Nvidia Control Panel isn't working anymore and I believe it's because of what I did... now I want to restore windowsapp folder to its original settings, how can I do that?.

Restoring Windows 10 Image using Macrium Reflect


In addition to the above. Here's my suggestion in step by step.
I assume you have Macrium Installed in your current HD and already made a backup copy.

1. Connect your new HD via USB port and boot up.
2. Run Macrium, click on Restore tab then select the Backup Image that you made to restore
3. click on "select a different target disk" then select your new HD as destination
   
   
   
4. Proceed to restore then Shutdown and disconnect the old HD and replace with the new HD
5. Boot up with your new HD.
