I've been using Windows 10 for something like 2 years already and everything was fine, but recently, around 3-4 weeks ago I noticed I couldn't open Calculator app (the pre-installed one from the Store). I clicked on its icon in Start menu and simply nothing happened.

Then I started investigating and searching. I found some articles on restoring Windows Store apps using some commands in PowerShell (described for instance here). I got many errors during this fix trial: enter image description here

and it didn't help. Currently I cannot even open any "system place" from start menu like "Settings", "Troubleshooting" - I can find it in start menu, but nothing happens when clicking on it.

I've also tried this this Microsoft's troubleshooter which said it cleaned some cache of windows apps and the Store opened, but I still cannot access any apps like before. Also when I tried to install some app in the Store, the download was started and was very slow (~100kb/s) and it closed itself after several seconds.

I'm also not able to open Windows Updates - when I find it in start menu and click "Check for updates..." nothing happens.

I scanned my PC with Avira and Malwarebytes - it found nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Firstly, create new user account on your PC and see if there is the same issue.

If not, repair your corrupted user profile:

Otherwise, it could be caused by system components.

Please try to repair your PC without losing anything:

  • I exactly did in-place reinstallation of Windows, just using this link wintips.org/… proposed by @HelpingHand in the comment above. For now it seems to work - all my data is restored and all issues disappeared ;) Finally! Oct 18, 2017 at 14:56
  • @DawidSibinski Did you have to reinstall all your user-installed software?
