Windows 10: Windows 10 apps keep crashing

My windows 10 apps (Mail, Help, Microsoft Store, etc.) all crash at launch.

I can select one, say mail, the splash screen pops up and very briefly(~100ms) a white screen appears behind the app and then both close. I can never see the white screen as its just a flash behind the app splash screen.

I've done 6-7 of the suggestions:


- reset the apps

- reinstall via Powershell Administrative screen

- check for file corruption

- etc.


Nothing seems to help.

The only thing I can think of is that my PC has a relatively small(111Gb) SSD for C: and at one point I set my download directory to D:

I've reset everything now to go back to storing on C: which has 20G of free space.


I see a lot of folks are having similar issues...

I have 2 separate Windows 10 machines working fine.

Appreciate any feedback

:)

 

all games crash!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
