Windows 10: New App Updates Render Some Microsoft Apps Unusable

Hi,


After being updated and having their icons changed, I have not been able to use some of my Microsoft apps. This includes Photos, Your Phone, and Voice Recorder. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I have already run a scan on SFC, as well as DISM, though both have reported that nothing seems to be wrong/corrupt I think the problem's not coming from a Windows Update, but rather the applications itself.


Other apps such as Films & TV and Groove Music have not shown the same issue, and I have been able to use them for some time after their updates now.


It's become a kind of nuisance as I can no longer view my photos alternatives just won't do and the inability to record my voice for assignments is slightly bugging me.

:)

Microsoft is purging a lot of low quality apps from the Windows Store

"Microsoft is sending emails to some Windows Store developers informing them that their apps have been removed from the Store for violating its quality standards."

"Neowin reports that app developers have been receiving these emails over the past couple of days:

In its latest review of the Store, Microsoft is evaluating if the published apps are good enough to be listed in the Windows Store. This includes publicly available apps as well as private beta apps. Additionally, Microsoft is also asking developers to delete any promotional campaigns for their apps to prevent advertising charges. Similarly, app name reservations are also being nullified; which means that if your app is unpublished, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to republish it under the same name.

Officially, the policies for the Microsoft Store says that apps must have "distinct and informative metadata" and "provide a valuable and quality user experience". There are also some specific standards that must be in the apps, including having a name that is not similar to another app or device, along with offering a description that is accurate about its features and functions.

There have certainly been many Windows Store users who have complained over the years about the large number of apps published that are clones of other apps or ones that are simply poorly made. Hopefully, this new move by Microsoft will help to curb these issues, at least for now."
