Windows 10: Surface X Notion installation - This app can't run on your PC

Hello,

In the past few days, I was trying to install Notion and various other apps on my device, but unfortunately, every time I try launching them, a message saying "This app can't run on your PC" pops up. I was used to downloading without any problems different apps on my device, but for some unknown reason, it doesn't let me anymore.

I'm asking if there is anyone capable of fixing this vexing issue for me.

Thank you.

:)

 

Your Phone Windows App on Surface Pro Can Neither Update nor Launch

Hi Bryen,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

We understand your concern as you are unable to access Your Phone app on your Surface pro PC and it’s redirecting you to Microsoft Store.

In this scenario, we would suggest you to perform these steps and check. This will uninstall the app completely from the PC and then install the latest version of the app.

1. Press Windows + X key and select
   PowerShell Windows (Admin),
   
2. Then copy and paste this command: Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.YourPhone -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage
   
3. Click on Enter and restart the PC.
   
4. Once the PC is restarted, go to Microsoft Store and install Your Phone app.
   

Let us know how it goes.

Problem updating Windows Surface Pro 4 with Windows 10 feature updates

Hi,

I have manage to install image for Microsoft Surface Pro 4 by going to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...erecoveryimage and download a recovery image for Microsoft Surface Pro 4.

What I did to reset your Surface from a USB recovery drive was:
Step 1: Make sure your Surface is turned off and plugged in (hold down the power
button for 30 seconds).
Step 2: Insert the USB recovery drive into the USB port on your Surface.
Step 3: Press and hold the volume-down button while you press and release the
power button on your Surface.
Step 4: When the Surface logo appears, release the volume button.
Step 5: When prompted, select the language and keyboard layout you want.
Step 6: Select Troubleshoot > Reset your PC.
If prompted for a recovery key, select Skip this drive at the bottom of the
screen.
Step 7: Select the target operating system you wish to reset. This
refers to the current operating system installed on your Surface.
Step 8: Select Yes, repartition the drives, and on the next page, select Next.
Step 9: Choose Just remove my files.
Step 10: Select Reset.
Surface restarts and the Surface logo displays while the reset process continues
(this can take a while).

This always fails and I have to do the below which continues installation.
Windows 10 Installation Media:

1. Insert the Media (DVD/USB) in your PC and restart.
2. Boot from the media.
3. Select Repair Your Computer.

Select Troubleshoot.

1. Choose Command Prompt from the menu:

Type in the command:
Diskpart
Type in the command:
List disk (Note which disk is your Boot drive number mine is 0)
Type in the command:
Sel disk 0
Type in the command:
List vol (Note which volume is the EFI partition mine is 4)
Type in the command:
Sel vol 4
Type in the command:
assign letter=V:
Type in the command:
Exit
Type in the command:
V:
After you have assigned a drive letter Using Diskpart You can format the EFI partition:
Example: if you assigned a letter V to the partition the command would be:
format V: /FS:FAT32
Type in the command:
bcdboot C:\windows /s V: /f UEFI


Now I have an issue that I cannot install Feature Updates. They keep failing to install.
Any ideas how to resolve issue?
