Cannot open Windows Start or Settings on my computer

Question

I am trying to reinstall pre-installed apps using powershell as this is a solution to this problem I found here.

After copying in the code, Powershell is asking for a "path" but I'm not sur what that means.

I'm also interested in any other solutions to this problem (I've tried restarting, sf scan revealed there was a problem but could not repair it, DISM tool did not resolve it).

Hi, good day!

• When was the last time it worked properly?
• Have you made any changes to your computer recently?

Repair all Windows apps via PowerShell

Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager then click File

Select "Run new task" then type: powershell

Make sure to put a check mark on the "Create this task with administrative privileges" box

Copy and paste the command below one at a time then press Enter. Please ignore the red errors and let the process complete.

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

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