I recently updated to Windows 10 Home Build 10586. Some built-in apps, however, appear to have been corrupted. One example being MSN News:
I have uninstalled and re-installed these apps several times with reboots in between. I have uninstalled apps both via the start menu and via Powershell (Remove-AppxPackage
).
I am the only user account.
How can I force the store to replace app packages when reinstalling built-in apps?
Answer
Navigate to
C:\Program files\WindowsApps
(take ownership if you haven't already done so byRight-clicking on the app folder then left-clicking security tab -> change ownership -> select your user name -> apply -> ok
)Inside the folder search for "bing news" delete any file with
Microsoft.BingNews_2015.709.2017.3396_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe
or similar, then run the app.In the start menu,
right-click the app
and click uninstall.Finally go to store and reinstall the app and search for updates on the store.
