Windows 10: Windows 10 TwinUI and ms-Resource StoreTitle <- and all other default windows apps -...

So recently my PC has started to run a little slow, it's about 4 years old now so I wasn't surprised. Nevertheless, I decided to soft reset reset but keep my files this was about a week ago and once it had finished resetting all looked good until I wanted to download VLC and I noticed the Microsoft Store app wasn't showing up when I searched for it. With some more digging, I found the ms-Resource StoreTitle bug along with many more of these 'ms-Resource' bugs that were all connected to the default apps of Windows. As I went into [Settings > Apps > Default Apps] I could see every single default Microsoft app except for Microsoft Edge had the TwinUI error.


Once I saw all these issues, naturally, I went onto the internet and looked up fixes for both of these issues. Many videos, and articles, and Microsoft community discussions later... to say the least, I was pissed. Nothing worked. the

'Get-AppXPackage Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$$_.InstallLocation\AppXManifest.xml"}'

Didn't work, and came up with numerous errors saying that it couldn't find the path to x and y. I did this in powershell administrator, and command prompt. I tried troubleshooting everything, and Windows said everything was fine.


At last I decided to just reset my pc again, with high hopes this time since I was factory resetting it. Deleting all my files, I clicked away and slept until this morning as im righting this. I woke up to setting up my pc as I remembered 4 years ago, and I was finally feeling relieved that this whole mess would be resolved. Until of course, I finished the setup and the first thing I saw was my old wallpaper from before the reset!? How does that even happen? And, what do you know, the problems were still here, no email, no store, no mapps, all of them have the ms-Resource issue and the TwinUI as well.


To say the least, I'm pissed, and tempted to send it to a local store to fix, which would be a pain as this is a beefy PC that would take a lot of effort to move it to the closest store which is still pretty far away, I live in France.


TL;DR: To sum up, I soft reset it saved personal files and the ms-Resource and TwinUI 'bugs/issues' began. I tried all the fixes including numerous commands through PowerShell and cmd prompt, as well as, I tried the normal troubleshooting in the settings which said everything was fine. Once again I reset the PC, however this time, deleting all files from all drives and the issue is still here.


All the fixes I have seen are from Summer 2019 and earlier, I really hope I can get a fix as it's March 2020, and I haven't found a fix that is modern so if someone could help me I would be in your debt from the moon and back ;p

Thanks for reading!

Windows 10 forgets default apps

I have noticed like not 5mins ago that Winamp just got kicked out of my default apps list in Windows 10 Pro.
I installed this installation not max 3 weeks ago with fresh downloaded Windows 10 Pro using Microsoft Media Creation Tool, is there a way to fix this bcs I using sfc /scannow don't do a lot for me and I have run it before on this installation.

Before u ask, I have fully updated my Windows 10 with all non-insider/beta updates.

The only thing I have disabled is the uac prompt that popup when u need admin for applications to run bcs it's simply annoying.

I don't remember having all these problems with Windows 8.1 Pro when i was using that and I am really thinking about going back so I can have "fully control" over Windows again with like disabling all the admin crap bcs I feel like it's messing more up and makes things less useful in Windows 10 with all these small problems I have and I read a lot of ppl having problems with various things time and time again where they needed to reinstall Win10 over and over to get it to work fully.

Any advice on how I can get Windows 10 to just work as a "daily driver" without all these small annoying things? *Frown

 

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

TWINUI in place of some default apps


After upgrading several systems, on a couple of them I ran into an issue where instead on the standard Windows 10 default apps being listed for such things as Maps, Music Player, Photo Viewer, etc., "TWINUI" was listed. Fortunately it was easy to fix. All you have to do is open the standard default app, close it, go back to Settings, and it was miraculously fixed. It seemed to happen when going into a second user after the initial user setup completed and completing the setup for the second user.
