Windows 10: OneNote for Windows 10 Microsoft Store App Not working

Hello all,



I used to have a perfectly working condition "OneNote for Windows 10" Microsoft Store app installed.


Now when I try to launch it I get these errors on Event Viewer:
Event ID 10010 - The server Microsoft.Office.OneNote_16001.13328.20478.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe!microsoft.onenoteim did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

Event ID 7023 - The Windows Search service terminated with the following error: The system cannot find the drive specified.

Event ID 7034 - The Windows Search service terminated unexpectedly.


I am wondering if these are related to missing WindowsApps files - recently I had put in this command to PowerShell:

Get-AppxPackage *Xbox* Remove-AppxPackage

Get-AppxPackage *NET.Native* Remove-AppxPackage

Get-AppxPackage *VCLibs* Remove-AppxPackage


Removing the Xbox and VCLibs apps only partially removed the apps, and I later did a clean uninstall and reinstall of Xbox through the Microsoft Store. I also installed the latest Visual C++ packages and .NET framework.


I have not run into any issues with any programs, and the only Microsoft Store apps to not work is the OneNote for Windows 10 app.

Any thoughts? Could this be an issue of needing to re-install Windows Search Services? If so how would I go about doing this?

:)

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

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."
