Hi!

After Corel Draw X3 installation, the Windows modern UI apps dont work. Any of them, including Store. They just open and immediately close, no error messages.

If you want to try install Corel Draw X3, then make Restore point before!

    from KB article linked above, I only had to perform one change to bring back modern apps..

    1. Open regedit.exe

    1. Right click on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and select permissions
    2. Add "All Application Packages" with Read permission (All Application Packages was missing)

    File system checks were ok, other registry keys were correctly configured (but you'll probably want to check anyways).

    I can confirm this. The Corel Draw X3 installer changes the permissions of HKCR registry key. This prevents access by the modern UI apps and causes them to fail.

    If you reset the permissions of the HKCR key to the state before Corel Draw installation, the modern UI apps work again.

    Yes, this happened to me this past weekend.

    Installed CDX3 then after awhile noticed my apps didn't work.  Took me hours to find the answer about the registry keys.  In the meantime I uninstalled a bunch of programs that I thought might be the problem, including CDX3.

    Fixed the registry keys on Sunday, and a couple of hours ago, reinstalled CDX3.  Apps quit working!  Eureka!  Googled "corel x3 permissions" to find this thread.

    Here is the article you need to get back to normal:
