Windows 8 Windows 8.1 App trouble

[prestonthejoy]

I noticed this problem a couple weeks ago when I installed the recent update for windows. All pre installed apps on my start screen had an "X" in the corner of the tile. None of them would open. The only thing that would happen would be I was directed to the desktop and the app would be running in the task bar. By running the app trouble shooter I was able to get the app store working but everything else continues not to work. Settings, maps, weather, mail, etc.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Give this a try http://blogs.technet.com/b/ouc1too/...app-store-doesn-t-load-after-8-1-upgrade.aspx
Worked for me after experiencing similar issues.
Make sure you reboot after running the power shell command in an Admin command prompt.
Keep us posted.

Sorry for the long response time. Its been a while since I've used this desktop.
The windows store now runs fine. None of the pre-installed windows apps work. Weather, Settings, News, etc.
