Apparently out of the blue, I can't run any metro apps. They open, then close after a few seconds. I tried the fix here but it didn't work. I rarely use metro apps, so I'm not sure when it started. Is there a fix? I have no intentions of re-installing everything.
I checked the event logs, and get this error:
Activation of app Microsoft.BingWeather_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App failed with error: The remote procedure call failed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.
In EventViewer, I looked under Applications and Services Logs->Microsoft->Windows but don't see a TWinUI folder
...I found TWinUI in Services Logs->Microsoft->Windows->Apps and the error there is:
Activation of the app Microsoft.BingWeather_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App for the Windows.Launch contract failed with error: The remote procedure call failed..
Update: Based on a suggestion from another site, I installed the latest DisplayLink driver. This did not help, but when I re-booted, MySql came up with this error:
There was an error subscribing to WMI Events, this may be caused by a security settings misconfiguration on a local or remote machine.
Call was canceled by the message filter. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010002 (RPC_E_CALL_CANCELED))
Not sure if that's related or just a red herring.
Update: I actually wrote a small app and just loaded it up in Visual Studio and it wouldn't run. I got this error:
I did what it said, but still got that error on next attempt.
Update I'll add one more piece of information before I give up. I booted into safe mode and got this error:
chkdsk
) and then run anSFC /scannow
to ensure system file integrity.
