C:\WINDOWS\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\CrossDeviceResume.exe The application has not been provisioned

How do I fix or repair this

Answer 1

The error indicates a problem with a built‑in Microsoft Store/modern app component. The supported way to fix or repair this type of issue is to restore the default permissions and then repair or reset the affected apps.

1. Verify and repair file system permissions for Store apps
   • Ensure the All Application Packages group has the required permissions on key folders used by modern apps:
     • C:\Program Files – Read, Read & Execute, List folder contents
     • C:\Windows – Read, Read & Execute, List folder contents
     • C:\Users – Full Control for All Application Packages
   • To fix manually for each folder:
     1. Open File Explorer and browse to the folder (for example, C:\Program Files).
     2. Right‑click the folder, select Properties.
     3. Go to the Security tab and select Advanced.
     4. Select Change permissions > Add.
     5. Select Select a principal, choose the local computer as the location, and add All Application Packages.
     6. Set Type = Allow and Applies to = This folder, subfolder, and files.
     7. Check Read & execute, List folder contents, and Read.
     8. Check Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permission entries from this object, then select Apply and OK.
   • Repeat for C:\Windows with the same permissions.
   • Repeat for C:\Users, but grant All Application Packages Full Control, then Apply and OK.
2. Verify and repair registry permissions for Store apps
   • Open regedit.exe.
   • Right‑click HKEY_USERS > Permissions and ensure All Application Packages has Read.
   • Repeat for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
   • Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, check subkeys HARDWARE, SAM, SOFTWARE, and SYSTEM and ensure All Application Packages has Read.
   • Only change permissions on keys known to be incorrect; broad changes can cause serious problems and cannot be rolled back except by reinstalling Windows.
3. If Group Policy is managing permissions
   • Move the device to a test OU or unjoin from the domain so domain GPOs do not immediately re‑apply incorrect permissions.
   • In Group Policy Management Console, edit the GPO that manages file system permissions:
     1. Go to Computer Configuration → Policy → Windows Settings → Security Settings → File System.
     2. For each path (C:\Program Files, C:\Windows, C:\Users), add or edit entries so All Application Packages has:
        • C:\Program Files and C:\Windows: Read, Read & Execute, List folder contents.
        • C:\Users: Full Control.
     3. Select Replace existing permissions on all subfolders and files with inheritable permissions.
   • For registry permissions in the same GPO:
     1. Go to Computer Configuration → Policy → Windows Settings → Security Settings → Registry.
     2. Add keys CLASSES_ROOT, Users, and MACHINE\HARDWARE, MACHINE\SAM, MACHINE\SOFTWARE, MACHINE\SYSTEM.
     3. For each, add All Application Packages with Read.
4. Repair or reset affected apps
   • After permissions are corrected, repair or reset any affected apps (including Microsoft Store and related components):
     • On Windows 11:
       1. Select Start > Settings > Apps > Installed apps.
       2. Select the More icon next to the app, choose Advanced options.
       3. Select Repair; if that does not resolve the issue, select Reset.
     • On Windows 10:
       1. Select Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features.
       2. Select the app, choose Advanced options.
       3. Select Repair, or Reset if needed.

If registry or file system permissions have been extensively modified and cannot be reliably restored, the only guaranteed way to return to the out‑of‑box state is to reformat the drive and reinstall Windows.
