Windows Apps duplicated

Question

This problem has started when I transferred data from my dead laptop via Geek Squad. Now, If I go there, they will spam some **** questions to me, so I would like to solve this problem by myself.

As one can see from the left, the windows app are duplicated. I'm not sure this is the cause of another problem, but I'm also unable to sign in to my Office 365 programs.
