I am unable to start any of the Windows 8 "Metro" applications anymore on any of the users on my system.

This includes the Store, and the PC Settings application. When I try to run these apps, it quits to desktop every time and two error logs are written:

Activation of app windows.immersivecontrolpanel_cw5n1h2txyewy!microsoft.windows.immersivecontrolpanel failed with error: This app does not support the contract specified or is not installed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.

And in Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational:

The app windows.immersivecontrolpanel_cw5n1h2txyewy!microsoft.windows.immersivecontrolpanel is not registered for the Windows.Launch contract or is not installed.

I am trying to run these apps as a administrator (not the local administrator, that account is disabled) with UAC enabled. So far, I've tried:

  • sfc /scannow - no issues detected
  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth - completed without error
  • Creating a new user and trying to run apps there - same result
  • Updating Graphics Drivers
  • Running Windows Update
  • Ran the "Windows Store Apps" troubleshooter, it always says there might be an issue with my graphics drivers, even though I did a fresh insall of the latest GeForce drivers

Chrome in "Windows 8 Mode" works, however.

Unfortunately I was never able to solve this issue. If you are having this problem you will need to reinstall windows.

I've found answer here http://blogs.technet.com/b/ouc1too/archive/2013/10/19/windows-app-store-doesn-t-load-after-8-1-upgrade.aspx You just need to change application manifest path, in the command, to fix all other applications
