Windows 10: Unable to open Twitter app on from the Microsoft Store.

Good morning or afternoon to all, I am hoping to get a resolution to my problem with the Microsoft Store. Whenever I search for the Twitter app. it tells me that I own it, however when I click on it says, "This app requires the latest version of Microsoft Edge." I'm certain that I have installed all possible updates to my laptop and to Microsoft Edge, and it still displays the same message in place of the install button or the open button. Does anybody know what it wrong, and how I can possibly fix this?

Twitter App

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



May I know, if you are facing this issue with only Twitter app or other apps as well?



We will have to try few troubleshooting steps to further eliminate the root cause of the issue and check.



Method 1:

1. Try resetting store app,
   Press Windows + R key on your keyboard and type wsreset on the run window and hit enter.
   
2. If you have not rebooted your computer after Windows update, reboot the computer once and check.
   

Method 1:

1. Right click on the start menu and click on
   Windows PowerShell (Admin) that will run PowerShell in admin mode.
   
2. Disable any antivirus program, if you have any.
   
3. Type Get-AppxPackage –AllUsers –Name *twitter* it will give you the information of the twitter app.
   
4. Copy the PackageFullName
   e.g. (Microsoft.WindowsStore_11807.1001.13.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe) and save it on a notepad, the example on the bracket is for store app, you will have to copy for twitter app.
   
5. Type Get-AppxPackage *twitter* | Remove-AppxPackage this will uninstall twitter app from the system.
   
6. Reboot the system once.
   
7. Open PowerShell again with step 1.
   
8. Type in Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\< PackageFullName>\AppxManifest.xml" –DisableDevelopmentMode
   
9. Replace <PackageFullName> with the name you have saved on step 4.
   
10. Hit enter and let the installation complete.
    
11. You can also install the app from Windows Store.
    

After the command is completed, you should be able to search for twitter app and use it from start menu.

Method 2:

1. You can also try to
   create a new user account and check if it works on the new user account.

If you still face the issue, reply to this post with more information.



Hope it helps.

Mail app will not open on 10041.

Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)
