powershellwindows 10windows-store-app
I recently updated to Windows 10 Home Build 10586. Some built-in apps, however, appear to have been corrupted. One example being MSN News:
I have uninstalled and re-installed these apps several times with reboots in between. I have uninstalled apps both via the start menu and via Powershell (Remove-AppxPackage).
I am the only user account.
How can I force the store to replace app packages when reinstalling built-in apps?
I would first boot windows up with only the essential boot items. This can be accomplished through the task manager under the startup tab. Failing that working refresh the system which will keep your data intact but reload the OS. You will have to reinstall programs from scratch.
You could also try running a chkdsk /R from an elevated command prompt.
Try resetting the Windows Store Cache:
- Go to the Start Screen or the Windows Modern UI screen
- Type in WSReset.exe
- Click on Run as administrator
- Reboot, log in, and test.
