    Win10 apps stopped working


    This happened a few days ago, maybe a week, the Win10 native apps stopped working. The image viewing app doesn't work, Mail doesn't work, Calendar doesn't work... I haven't checked the others yet, but I'm sure the answer is it don't work.

    "There is a problem with mail. Please contact your administrator about repairing or reinstalling it"

    When I click on start the Mail and Calendar icons have a little white exclamation mark in a circle in the lower right corner.

    :)

    Hi Alfred001

    First I would create a restore point and I recommend making an Image with a product like Macrium Reflect.

    Always want a plan B.

    It tells me I can't do that on account of Firewall is not running. I'm now trying to get started the service Base Filtering Engine (which I need to start in order to start Windows Firewall, because BFE is a dependancy for the Firewall), and it tells me Error 5: Access is Denied

  6. Indeed, store apps require Windows Firewall service. BFE is dependent on network services, try this:
    Code: reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\BFE" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "2" /f reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MpsSvc" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "2" /f reg add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinHttpAutoProxySvc" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "3" /f sc config Dhcp start= auto sc config NlaSvc start= auto sc config nsi start= auto sc config Wcmsvc start= auto sc config Winmgmt start= auto sc config NcbService start= demand sc config Netman start= demand sc config netprofm start= demand sc config WlanSvc start= auto sc config WwanSvc start= demand[/quote]

    Yes run CMD as admin. It will reset network services to default.

    I did it, but no change.

    I still get the Error 5: Access is Denied when I try to manually start Base Filtering Engine

  10. I might suggest you perform the in place repair / upgrade.

    Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

    Backup your personal data and I would further recommend creating an Image with a tool like Macrium Reflect. The process is not supposed to be harmful but you want a Plan B.

    I'm trying to perform the repair/upgrade and the Media Creation Tool keeps getting stuck at 0% when it gets to "Downloading Windows 10." That's whether I tell it to upgrade this PC to windows or to create install media.

    Anyone know why?

    Well, I performed a repair and things have gotten even worse. Now when I click on start nothing happens and when I click on notifications nothing happens either.

  14. I would make an immediate back up of your personal data.

    In posting two I had recommended you create an Image with a toll like Macrium Reflect. Given you followed the recommendation, after completing your backup you could try restoring.

    First with the restore point I recommended and then with the Image you create with Macrium.

    Personally after I had my data backup done I would do a clean install. Yes more work but a much better product coming out the other end. As part of that I would delete my existing OS' related partitions so it is truly clean.

    Maybe a another member will have another suggestion.

    I just did the repair a second time, but the outcome was the same. I still get no reaction if I click on start or cortana or notifications.

    At this point I'm leaning towards what you suggested, formatting the win partiiton and doing a clean install.

    There's two things I really need to save, tho:

    1. my notes from that sticky notes app

    2. Cortana reminders

    Anyone know where those are saved? Might my Cortana reminders be linked to the hotmail account I sign into windows with?
