Modern Apps (Contacts and Weather) crash at splash


Recommended Posts

Good morning, I have upgraded from Windows 8.1 Pro and I have two apps that aren't working right now on Build 10074

 

  • Contacts
  • Weather

Both start and crash at the splash screen. I've searched for the solution and the only thing I find is to run the following command in PowerShell (elevated) but I get the following error:

Command:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Error:

Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073D02, The package
could not be installed because resources it modifies are currently in use.
error 0x80004004: Unable to install because the following apps need to be

Any suggestions?

Hello Arkanius,

 

I have the same problem. I can't even open the Windows Store, or any other modern apps except Project Spartan and Settings .

Yeah it's similar to my problem

 

Have you checked the MS insider support pages ?

 

 

 

Yes, there was a fix through a PowerShell script that was supplied by some MS engineers, but it didn't work at my end. I posted it on the OP
