Windows 10: This app can't run on your pc? I restored my windows and this what it says when i try to...

I tried to restore my windows because i lost a few important files.but now it says that app can't run on my pc

:)

 

Splash screen says "this PC is unable to run windows 10" - Compatibility report says "You're Good to Go"

I have a weird issue where the Windows 10 App is giving different information depending on what screen I am on.

When I first open the app it says "Unfortunately, this PC is unable to run Windows 10" (See screen shot below)



So I click on the "View Report" to check the compatibility issue and I get a clean bill of health saying "You're good to go, Your PC will work with Windows 10"



What gives? I have not seen the temp folder showing that any files are getting downloaded in preparation for an install.

Background:

• The first time the compatibility report ran I had the widely reported issue of the CPU being reported as incompatible. I followed the instructions for forcing the patch for the App to be installed and I forced the compatibility checker to be re-run by following
  the steps over here How to Fix: CPU Not Compatible with Windows 10 Error (steps that are also suggested on this forum)
  • for whatever reason I got a confirmation saying that the compatibility checker had run in the command prompt but when I opened the app the last run day was from over a month ago and it still listed my CPU as being incompatible
  • Tried several more times with the same result
• When the Launch date happened the App must have run itself as the "last run" date changed to 7/29 and the compatibility check says I am all good. But the splash screen still says this PC is unable to run windows 10
• Uninstalling the app and re-downloading the necessary KB's doesn't fix the problem

System info:

• Lenovo W520 4270CTO
• CPU: i7-2960XM @ 2.70 GHz
• Video Card - Intel HD Graphics
• Video Card Discrete - NVIDIA Quadro 2000M
• Windows 7 SP1 64 bit

Any thoughts / suggestions? Thanks!

Windows 10 Photos app doesn't run.

Hi,

Incompatible software installed in your PC can conflict with Windows apps and cause performance issues. We can suggest several troubleshooting steps to isolate and resolve the issue. As an initial recommendation, you can run the

Windows app troubleshooter. This will identify the cause of the issue and provide you further suggestions for troubleshooting steps.

If the issue persists, you can uninstall the Photos app and reinstall it by doing the steps below:

• Type Windows PowerShell in the search box at the taksbar.
• In the search results, right click on Windows PowerShell and
  Run as administrator.
• On the Powershell prompt, type: get-appxpackage *Microsoft.Windows.Photos* | remove-appxpackage.
• Press Enter.
• Once uninstalled, you can reinstall the app from this
  link.

Let us know if the suggestions above worked for you.
