Hello IRSHADALAM2,

I'm John an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. I want to apologize if you encountered this issue. I understand you have a problem with apps greyed out. When was the last time the apps was working properly? What is your current Windows version and edition? Press Start then search Settings, select System then About.

Run the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe)

Press WIN+R to open Run then type: cmd

Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to Run as administrator

At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

sfc /scannow

Restore and repair system files

Press WIN+R to open Run then type: cmd

At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

Run the troubleshooter: Right-click Taskbar then select Taskbar Settings >On the search box, type Troubleshoot Settings > Troubleshoot, and then from the list select Windows Store apps > Run the troubleshooter

**Reset the Microsoft Store cache

Press the Windows Logo Key + R to open the Run dialog box, type wsreset.exe, and then select OK.

Note

A blank Command Prompt window will open, and after about ten seconds the window will close and Microsoft Store will open automatically.

Re-register Settings app

WIN+X then select Windows Powershell (Admin)

copy paste the command one at a time then press Enter:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

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

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further concerns.

Hello,

Try to re-register apps. Perform these steps:

1. Search for Windows PowerShell using Cortana or Windows Search.
2. From results, right click on Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
3. Then type following command and press Enter key:

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

Let the command complete.

4. Close Windows PowerShell and see if the issue is resolved now.

Let us know if this helps!
