    Photos App Won't open "This app Can't Open"

    When opening or importing from memory card the Error "This app can't open" appears. I have reinstalled, run the trouble shooter a number of time with no effect. I have also removed the apps using power shell and the command Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach
    {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

    There has been no change and the error still occurs.

    Windows is up to date with all updates

    Photos App Won't open "This app Can't Open"

    I have the same question. This problem started just after a major Windows 10 update last weekend (Nov 12, 2017.) Has anyone found an answer that works?

    You could try the app trouble shooter, see if it picks up anything.

    That's probably what you should try in an administrative PowerShell session next. But first, make a backup of your system. If something goes south, you'll want to be able to get back where you started with minimum fuss and bother. Once you've actually gotten rid of everything, then you can try installing it again.

    Sorry for your troubles. Somehow, I'd assumed you'd already removed all this stuff. I didn't mean to send you astray.

    OK, then: you've got the store in place and the store apps are at least claiming to be present. Were you able to uninstall the Store and the Store apps to begin with? I'm starting to think that's what you should try again. An older thread here at TenForums explains how to delete those apps in PowerShell: How to uninstall Apps using Powershell Solved - Windows 10 Forums. As Kari points out in thread #2 there, you can remove everything with this single PowerShell command:

    Code: Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage [/quote] That's probably what you should try in an administrative PowerShell session next. But first, make a backup of your system. If something goes south, you'll want to be able to get back where you started with minimum fuss and bother. Once you've actually gotten rid of everything, then you can try installing it again.

    Ed,

    After uninstalling, I reinstalled Apps, but I got this messages.

    I can open "Alarm & Clock", but I could not open "Edge". When I click Edge's icon, something quickly appeared and disappeared.

    OK, then: I'm thinking it's time for an upgrade repair install. Try this TF tutorial: Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade. If THAT doesn't work, then you'll have to perform a clean install and rebuild your runtime environment from scratch. So please: cross your fingers that the upgrade repair install does the trick!
