When installing Windows 8.1 without a Microsoft account, and also when integrating the PC in a Windows domain, very often the apps on the app screen show up with a “X” in the angle, or with “error” after their name.<\/p>\n

It seems there is going something wrong in this configuration, as I saw this very often (my customers are all professional users, no home users).<\/p>\n

I have found now a solution to this:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/answers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/forum\/windows8_1-windows_store\/all-modern-apps-fail-to-start-after-windows-81\/a80793c7-c214-43ec-9ca9-5c758f9ad840?page=2<\/a><\/p>\n

In short, the solution is the following:<\/p>\n

– the owner of the key <\/p>\n

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Classes\\Local Settings\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\appmodel\\repository\\packages<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

needs to be changed to SYSTEM (using the advanced button in RegEdit
\n– execute the following on an administrative command prompt<\/p>\n

Powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\\WinStore\\AppxManifest.xml<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

to fix the Store app
\n– execute a Powershell with administrative rights and execute this command: <\/p>\n

((Get-ChildItem “HKLM:SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Appx\\AppxAllUserStore\\InboxApplications”) | Get-ItemProperty).Path | Add-AppxPackage -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This was enough – no reboot needed, the store app loaded and also the single other apps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
