In some scenarios Windows 10 built-in Apps fail to open. This is how to solve the annoying Windows 10 “This App can´t open” bug using PowerShell.
1. Opening PowerShell
2. Fixing the “This App can´t open” bug for current user
3. Fixing the “This App can´t open” bug for all Windows 10 user accounts
1. Open PowerShell
First of all you need to open PowerShell. Press Windows key + S and type power shell and click on the result.
2. Fixing the “This App can´t open” bug for current user
To apply the changes only for the current account, just copy and paste the following command in PowerShell:
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml”}
3. Fixing the “This App can´t open” bug for all Windows 10 user accounts
To apply the changes for all the Windows 10 users, you need to run the following command:
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml”}
Windows 10 now reinstalls and re-registers all built-in Apps. You can follow the procedure in the PowerShell window.
After all apps have been re-registered you should be able to re-open them again.
