Hi all, from some days I have a problem with my windows 8. The native applications (like Store, Music, Settings, etc) don't work. If I click on them, it show the corrispondent icon and after 3-4 seconds the app crash and I return on desktop. Same thing if I try to use the search function. I also noticed that inserting removable media (usb, hard disk etc) can not navigate inside (always crash), and if I go on Download folder, If I scroll down, crash and back to the desktop. All of this happened in a few days, before everything was fine. I didn't install strange application nor any other antivirus. What happened?

If you are running an AV real time shield, turn it off to see what happens.

Post the result here before the next step.

Hello fabrinhood, and welcome to Eight Forums.

Since everything was fine just a few days ago, you might see if doing a system restore using a restore point dated before this happened may be able to undo and fix this for you.

Hope this helps for now, :)
