8.1 Apps not working

[Matchlock]

I'm really sorry Cliff but I don't know what you mean by this.

That's for the second part(under the separation line) you'll need to either use search(windows key and the letter "S") or go to all apps screen and type powershell and right click it and choose run as administrator.

Also, what is a "search windows key? I am so confused I can't even think straight.

Bud

I have no idea what you mean by powershell.

Bud

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

I ran the Powershell as administrator and copied and pasted this text and ten rebooted but still no apps.

Sorry Cliff.

Nothing to be sorry about Bud, I was hoping that would do it though.
I have posted for further help from other members, so we'll see if someone else can help, I'm pretty much out of ideas, except for an "in place upgrade"(also called "Repair Install")http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/26095-repair-install-windows-8-a.html

Hi Cliff;

I just read all through that "Repair Install Windows 8" and one of the things that it says is that all windows apps will remain. They will not be changesd so it doesn't look like even that would be an option, right?

The problem isn't the apps themselves I believe, it's that you can't access them. The repair install only replaces the system files.

One other thing I was wondering, have you tried creating another account, to see if you can use the apps then?

How do I create another account Cliff?

Here is a tutorial that might help, Bud: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/5536-user-account-add-new-user-windows-8-a.html

You will only need Option One.

Thank you Cliff, I'll give it a try and see if that works.
