    One specific metro app not running


    There are only a few metro app I have installed after installing and refreshing Windows 10. One of them is "Star Wars: Commander". I used to play it almost everyday. But suddenly, one day the app doesn't run anymore. When I click on the tiles (or from All Apps list), nothing comes; not even splash screen.

    First thing I checked was the Store. Nothing was wrong there; no updates.
    Second, I noticed there's no uninstall option when I right click the tiles. On the All Apps list, there's only a "Pin to Start" when I unpinned the tiles.
    I tried uninstalling by the help of a tutorial using something like GetAppx on Powershell. Still nothing happens.
    I tried DELETING the app data folder from Packages (on Local AppData) and WindowsApps (on Program Files). Went to store, it installed again, but the problem persists.
    There's another user on my PC which is my brothers who also have Star Wars Commander installed, but in that account, it runs.

    Anyone can help me with fixing this app?! Further details can be provided if required.

    :)

    roboform for wp7

    Well, there's another big difference:

    Firefox was specifically designed to support add-ins. It's not called ActiveX but it holds the same role. It's not a "workaround," it's a published API.

    Metro IE, on the other hand, was specifically designed NOT to support add-ins. And Metro apps are vetted by MS before release to Marketplace for compliance with Metro requirements. RF as a form-filler on Metro would be quite an impressive workaround.

    Since Anniversary Update I cannot run built in Calculator applet - flashes app window and closes x80010101 - acutally appears to be all METRO apps

    Thanks ML.

    I ran the 2 scans:

    • SFC says "verification 100% complete"
    • DISM syas "Restore operation completed successfully."
    The problem persists.

    Actually, it appears the problem is not specific to calculator. I just tried to run the built in Weather app. Same problem. I now suspect it is a system wide problem with "Metro" (cr)aplets. So it appears that re-install calculator will not help problem.

    What other default applications have been converted to Metro so I can check them also to confirm one way or the other.
