If I try and open up a photo for example, I get a message box with the "Windows cannot access the specified..." message. Thanks in advance, for any help.

It will re-install those default apps.

Get-AppxPackage -allusers | foreach {Add-AppxPackage -register "$($_.InstallLocation)\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode} You should see a teal background with yellow letters, you may also see some errors, ignore the errors and let it finish. When it finishes, reboot.

Twice through advanced startup, and the third time through Window's Recovery options but with the secondary drive unplugged. Apps still don't work :/ If I look in my Start Menu, some of the default apps appear as "ms-resource:".

S Sally Member Joined Jul 21, 2020 Posts 5 Jul 23, 2020 #10 Found how to fix it. Step 1: Take ownership of the WindowsApps folder in Program Files. Step 2: Try the Powershell commands. If it doesn't work; Step 3: Delete the entire WindowsApps folder. Step 4: Do a repair install with an in-place upgrade: Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade If the problem's not solved; Step 5: Try the Powershell commands once again. If even that doesn't work, then do steps 1 and 3 again, and this time; Step 6: Do a refresh install, keeping your files: Refresh Windows 10 Personally, I already did a refresh install before trying to delete the WindowsApps folder, so I'm not sure if a repair install will do, but it's worth trying. A refresh install did resolve my issue though.
