Unable to re install built in apps.

[xLarry]

A week ago, my photos app (and other apps) started to give me the error "Remote call procedure failed" and therefore I tried to reinstall all the apps using this command:

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

However when I run that command, only some of the apps 'register'. Others fail and therefore are unstartable.
Here is a log of the output:

(the command was run in Powershell in admin mode)
I have also run DISM in ONLINE mode and SFC /scannow

Is that log output the same as? :

Transcript started, output file is C:\output.txt

Not sure what this is exactly or if it would be helpful or not, but it may be helpful:

NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] 8d94dad8-b871-0003-1d5f-968d71b8d101 in the Event Log or use
the command line Get-AppxLog -ActivityID 8d94dad8-b871-0003-1d5f-968d71b8d101

I had similar issues right before my whole windows store stopped working. I wound up doing a repair install of windows 10 to fix (using the get windows 10 button on Microsoft site.) It kept everything as is, including desktop/program links...

However I am not authorized to give official help, so don't do that unless advised by someone who is. I just wanted to throw that option out there, so you can prepare if it does come to that.

1) Yes.
2) You can find it here (along with all the other ones):

Hi all


Actually, the method that was successful for LordTreant has proven to be one of the methods with the best chance of success on first try. It works whether or not you have corrupted system files, corrupted profiles, tangled drivers ...

If you consider the amount of time that can be spent trying to find the magic bullet for your exact issue, it might turn out that the online in-place repair "upgrade" reinstall saves you time: simply because it works.

Run diagnostics on your hardware, though, before trying an in-place reinstall ..... software fixes can't do anything to fix hardware problems. Run malware scans beforehand too.

If you can't live without them, then use Restore of System via restore point.

As I learned with my issue, depending on the corruption the restore won't fix the store apps... I tried, and the only way I was able to was to do the in place repair upgrade since restore wouldn't fix it. Unrelated issues, but I do remember getting that same, "remote call procedure error" that Larry got in the photo app, a week or two before the whole store went missing for me. Once again I'm unauthorized to give official help but it does work.
