All the default apps except Metro IE and Camera, one app installed from Windows Store crash as soon as I open them. So to fix this problem, I want to reinstall the default apps. Is there a command that does this task?

Try the following:

  1. Delete %ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps.

  2. Delete the following registry keys:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ActivatableClasses\Package
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppX*
    
  3. Download this and extract to %WinDir%. This will replace the Windows Store files.

If that doesn't work, run sfc /scannow or as a last resort, Refresh your PC.
