Windows 10: windows shell experience host terminated

I have perhaps a clue that may help you (or Microsoft). I first started seeing windows shell experience host closed from time to time when my PC started from sleep (event id 1002, closed because it stopped interacting with Windows). But as I traced the events further, this was ALWAYS preceded by windows shell experience host closed upon PC going to sleep (event id 2484. terminated because it took too long to suspend).


Further examination and experiments point to this as a solution:

From Power Shell Admin:


Get-appxpackage -all *shellexperience* -packagetype bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + “\appxmetadata\appxbundlemanif

The problem returned after a improper shutdown (electrical outage), and the above command resolved it again.


My problem does not appear to be related to the OS version/patch, corruption, drivers, etc. Microsoft can weigh in, but I suggest trying this command in power shell before any time consuming or other risky updates. One last note, I rebooted after issuing the power shell command, which may or may not be necessary.
