Windows 10: Windows 10 apps not working

Suddenly none of my Windows 10 applications will open. Windows 10 itself is functionong, including Control Panel. I have shut down several times but it has not helped. It started soon after I launched Avast Premium Anti-tracking, which I didn't even known that I had. At first some programs worked but reported that I was not connected to the Internet. This was not true--I verified that I was connected. Then, those same apps, along with all others, stopped opening altogether, including the Avast anti-tracking program. When I tried to uninstall that program, it was not listed among my application

Metro 2033 fails to work on windows 10!

I don't recall you mentioning any trouble shooting steps attempted though. At the very least, doing a quick search and checking threads like this very well may have solved it for you. It's listed as compatible on MS' list of games that work with W10 for a reason, because many if not most are able to get it running on W10. At least some level of workaround may be required, but some got it running without doing anything.

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
