Can't set the alarm on Win 10

Hi, since a couple of weeks on my Windows 10 Home x64 (ACER Aspire A515-51G, 12gb ram, intel Core i7) I can't set the alarm on Alarms&Clocks, nor I can set the timer.

When I hit the "Save" icon (the floppy) it doesn't click and it doesn't work, therefore it doesn't set the alarm.

Also, I can't delete alarms, I can only turn them ON/OFF.

As I've previously said, it has never behaved this way, since a couple of weeks ago (and nothing happened in those days)

    1. Clear Windows Store Cache

    Type cmd in Windows Search box > Right click on Command Prompt > Run As Administrator > Type WSreset.exe and click Enter > Reboot your computer

    1. Try to reset the app

    Windows Key+i > Apps > Scroll down to this App > Click this App > Advanced options > Reset

    1. Uninstall and Reinstall Alarms and Clock app

    A. Uninstall - Windows Key+X > Click Windows Powershell (Admin) > Copy the below and paste into Powershell and Enter

    Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsAlarms | Remove-AppxPackage

    B. Reinstall

    Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsAlarms | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

    (If there is a problem in reinstall, you can always reinstall from MS Store)
