Code: 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModel\Repository\[COLOR=#ff0000][B]Packages[/B][/COLOR]

error 0x8007064A: Cannot register the request because the following error was encountered while initializing the windows.repositoryExtension extension: The

8. Test to see if you are able to open PC settings now.

9. If you are still not able to open PC settings, then see: Fix Store Apps and Tiles that are Not Working or Responding in Windows 8 and 8.1


That's it,
Shawn

Thank you so much Brink...

I registered on this forum just to let you know after several days of searching through futile solutions: this one worked.

I had to go through each and every step you outlined but this is the only fix out of many attempted that was a success.

PC Settings app was not opening here, but the code typed in elevated command prompted worked. The same was happening with Windows Store, so I entered a similar command as instructed by the "How to Re-register the Store in Windows 8 and 8.1" tutorial, and it also fixed that issue. Thanks a lot, what would I do without these wonderful tutorials? :D

Hello Nabilalk,

Since the missing C:\Windows\ImmersiveControlPanel\AppxManifest.xml file is a system file, see if running a sfc /scannow command may allow you to do this afterwards. :)

Tried that yesterday with no luck. I would run a system refresh, but the problem is, the laptop screen is broken, and won't show up on an external monitor if I boot into Windows Repair.

In that case, here's a copy of my AppxManifest.xml file in a .zip file below that you can download if you like. :)

View attachment appxmanifest.zip

Once you download the .zip, unblock it, open it, and extract (drag and drop) the AppxManifest.xml file to your desktop.

Next, copy the AppxManifest.xml file into your C:\Windows\ImmersiveControlPanel folder, and approve when prompted.

When finished, see if you are able to successfully run the command in PowerShell.

Is there a way that I can get my machine to allow me to use an external monitor while I am in Windows repair so that I can perform a refresh? It's strange since I can run a live cd like GParted and it shows up on the external, but Windows setup, nor Windows repair will show up on a monitor.

Anything else I can do to fix PC Settings besides a refresh? Can I copy some missing files from another machine with Win 8.1 or something? Thanks.

If you haven't already, you could try doing a system restore using a restore point dated before you had this issue.

Tried that as well. I think the problem is that some Windows components were left out of my original install. I used WinReducer for the install with a Win 8 Iso so that I could set up an unattended install (due to the broken screen). I was able to see just enough on the screen to install Windows, but unfortunately, it looks like WinReducer removed some components that I did not want it to. At least the PC is working, so I'm thankful for that.

May have to get the main screen fixed, and reinstall Windows.

"powershell" is not recognized - Windows 8.1

My PC Settings apps has stopped working and I wanted to use this command to see if it would fix it.

Code: 
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\ImmersiveControlPanel\AppxManifest.xml[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]
[/FONT][/COLOR]

I have tried multiple times to use this but I get an error that says ""powershell" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
