One of our domain users was having an issue with an unrelated program and, since we had very little information to go on, we removed her local profile from the PC and had her start over from scratch. Since then, her calculator app fails to launch and crashes, as well as her photo viewer. The calculator will open a blue window and then immediately close and I believe the photo viewer does something similar. They still work for other users logged into the same PC though. We have tried the following steps in this order trying to resolve this issue for her:

 

 

  • Terminated the app
  • Reset the app
  • Performed a Windows update to 1903 (I think it was 1809 previously)
  • Uninstalled then re-installed the app (uninstalling wasn't an option prior to the update)
  • We've tried re-registering the apps using this powershell script:
    • Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml”}

    [*]Ended the Runtime Broker background process

    [*]Ran the built in Windows App troubleshooter and rebooted afterwards

    [*]Ran WSReset.exe

    [*]Attempted to uninstall using Powershell with the script Get-AppxPackage *windowscalculator* | Remove-AppxPackage

 

 

 

These were most of the solutions I could find by searching. Is there any other possible solution? I don't want to remove and recreate her profile again since that would be a pain for her to do for the second time in two days and it's not guaranteed to work since that's what sparked this issue in the first place.

 

 

Thanks for any help or suggestions you have.
