Windows 10: Reset App in Windows 10

sfc /scannow runs fine. I was hoping someone could advise me of the commands to reset a single offending app. I''ll try the reset function after 2nd Aug then create a new user account of that doesn't work. I know a clean install is the way to go but it takes so much time to sort out.

 

Steve,

You can use the command below in a command prompt to reset only the "Get Started" app. *Smile

Code: PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *getstarted*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"[/quote]

 

I cant see advance options on Calculator in Windows 10 app and features list.

 

Hello jk22, *Smile

Yeah, not all apps support this feature. If you like, you can do OPTION TWO for Calculator to effectively reset it as well.

It will only reset the custom size and issues of calculator ? I hope it wont corrupt windows ?

 

No. It will only reinstall and re-register the Calculator app.

 

Fixed. *Smile

 

This tutorial is incorrect. on Windows 10 Pro, there is no 'apps and features' in settings. I even tried the 'search for a setting' and it still does not show up.

 

Hello,

Please check to see if the note under step 1 may apply to you. *Smile

 

@Brink, my People app will not function. On original windows anniversary edition, it worked but would not populate. I did a reset on it and since then, it has not worked--will not stay open, just flashes on and off. I upgraded to creators version hoping that People would work again. No such luck, still same problem. Any advice? Store says its installed and that's all.

 

Hello @magilla, *Smile

Double check the Store to see if there may be an update available for the People app.
