Solved Metro apps stop working, tiles black out!

[evol4gm]

I have this weird issues where my games and videos tiles have just "blanked out" if you will, (see screenshot attached).. when i try to click the link it takes me to the store yet when i go to watch a video if i right click on the designated file and open with the metro video app it does work until i go back to the start menu and try to click the video app yet again and it takes me to the store over and over..

what can I do to fix this without losing any of my files?

If you can, right click on the app and on the bottom, click on uninstall and do it for both of them.

Go back to the Store, right click on the screen, you'll see an option My Apps. Just re-install those 2.

it doesn't give me the option to uninstall, that was my first assumption and it didn't work, i also tried restoring all the windows applications as the default for all files, didn't work either..

Ok so I wound up solving it!
if anyone else experiences this this is how you fix it

Start menu > store > right click > your apps > drop down link to "user" apps

once you're there go to the apps that are "blanked out" just click it (maybe right click) until you see the option that says install, click it and it should reinstall and work as normal
