    Windows UWP apps


    It is 2020, almost 5 years of Windows 10 and Microsoft redesigning the UWP app icons. But still now it icons are disappeared or Disappearing from taskbar. My Question to Microsoft, when you planed for a proper solution of this? as a windows 10 user and lover I am very disappointed on this problem from past 3 years.

    :)

    Cortana is an integral part of Windows and she cannot be entirely turned off. However, if you don’t want Cortana functionality available to you on your taskbar, I would suggest you to follow these steps:

    Microsoft Adds Ability to Block Win32 Apps from Install on Windows 10

    Yes, UWP is an interpreter, an app running in UWP can't function without the interpreter. Only the UWP core has access to the actual hardware, the app does not.

    By not having direct access to the hardware, they perform slower. UWP has to translate everything and make sure it passes safety and security checks.

    If UWP has issues, all of the apps running on top of it also will. I've seen that in early release of Windows 10 where all UWP based, Windows-included apps broke (Edge, Calculator, Mail, etc.). Granted, it was only broke in one user account.

    Windows UWP apps

    Certain apps are crashing upon start. App reset, re-installation nothing seems to help. Any fixes?

    The app in question are as follows:

    • Engadget UWP
    • Windows Central UWP
    • CNET (Windows 8 App)
    These were working fine in AU.

    I have tried App reset and re-installation from store. Nothing seems to help.

    Any suggestions?
