    Hi Aaron,



    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



    This issue might occur if there is change in app settings or app is not installed properly.

    • When you say that "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application", are you getting any error code along with the error message?

    I suggest you to follow the methods below to uninstall the app and then try to reinstall the app from Windows Store. Check if it helps.



    Step 1: I recommend you to uninstall the
