Answer 1

Hi, thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A forum. I’m happy to help.

1. Run DISM and SFC tools to repair damaged system files:

On your search bar, type 'command prompt', then right-click and select 'Run as Administrator'. Type the following commands one after another in their respective order

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

sfc /scannow

Complete each step one at a time - they may take a few minutes. Restart your PC afterward.

2. Restart explorer.exe

On your keyboard, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc.

Go to the Details tab.

Scroll down and find explorer.exe.

Right-click on it and select End task.

In the menu bar, click File.

Click Run new task.

Type explorer.exe and press Enter.

3. Re-register all Windows apps

1. On your keyboard, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc
2. Click on File and choose "Run new task"
3. Type: powershell. Make sure to put a check on the "Create this task with administrative privileges" box
4. Copy and paste the command below then press Enter.

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

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost | foreach {Add-AppxPackage -register "$($_.InstallLocation)\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode}

Note: Please ignore any red errors and tet the process complete and then restart your PC.
