1. Windows 10 Programs Close Unexpectedly

1. Store App opens loads for about a second then closes. On the free upgrade, build 10240, the Windows 10 Store App opens for about a second with the loading graphic, but then closes immediately. I tried multiple ways to open it - taskbar icon, start menu tile, searching for it, heck I even asked Cortana to start it. All to no avail.
2. May 15, 2019 - Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system offers a lot of compelling features. Need to change as soon as you get started with Windows 10 after you've. Meant to close that Wordpad window with the readme.txt file open in it.

Microsoft Edge keeps on closing after a few seconds of opening it in Browsers and Email I just downloaded Windows 10 yesterday night and after using it for the first time this morning, I decided to try out Microsoft Edge. Whenever I open it from the app section or the bottom tab section, it shuts.

Windows 10 Programs Close Unexpectedly

A Simple Solution from Our ReadersSometimes, the best solutions are those that seem too simple to be true. But in tech, that’s often the case, so kudos to our reader nico for leaving a comment with a solution that several other readers have reported back as working.Here’s the fix:1. Click the Start button, right-click the cog icon that would normally lead to the Settings apps, then click More and “App settings”.2. Finally, scroll down in the new window until you see the Reset button, then click Reset.Settings reset, job done (hopefully).

Next, go to “Control Panel - User Accounts - User Accounts - Manage another account.”3. Select the new account you just created, “Change the account type,” then click “Administrator” in the new window, followed by “Change Account Type.”The new user is now the administrator.4. Sign out of your current account and into the new user account.

You’ll see a message asking if you want to merge the folders from your old account to your new one.

ConclusionIt’s not simple, but creating a new Windows account is sadly the best workaround to this problem that’s managed to persist for some despite patches that have been released to tackle it. It’s worth stressing again that you should try the two simpler solutions at the start of this article before going through the hassle of creating a new account.This article was first published in September 2016 and was updated in April 2019. I have been having problems with windows 10 since I installed it, or Microsoft Middle East installed it.Please understand that I am not biased but I can’t understand them when the talk to me. I have been on the phone about 10 times with Microsoft for hours on end.

The first time being when my windows 7 pro all of a sudden decided it wasn’t genuine anymore. And then they said that the product key was on a different computer and was transferred to the computer I put the product key into 2 years ago.

Then I called again and they said that it wasn’t activated. Then they upgraded me to windows 10 and I was doing fine for about 3 days and yesterday I right click on the desktop to go to display settings and settings pops up and then closes, and I go to the search bar on the desktop and it doesn’t bring up anything where I can type. Then Cortana isn’t responding. Then whenever I open up google, the desktop goes black for a second.I then try to reinstall windows by USB and I boot with the right drive, and it comes up with a screen where the windows 10 icon is and does nothing.I then restart going back to the non working so, and somehow after like 20 minutes finally get to settings- updates- reset computer and it installed and says it had a problem or something. Then I finally get into the computer and its doing the same thing as it was last time.

I am fed up at this point and call tech support for the unteenth time and they send me to the wrong department, the rep says to hold for 3-4 minutes- 30 minutes later he comes back on the line and says thank you for holding, please hold for 3-4 minutes not caring that I was on hold for 30 minutes at all. And I asked for compensation for all the inconvenience and they told me that they don’t compensate for inconvenience. Post number 2:I then got hung up on by Microsoft Middle East and called back and they told me that they can set up an appointment to have windows fully wiped and then reinstalled on the system.

So I go to the Microsoft store an hour away to have them tell me since it is a custom built computer, they have to run diagnostics on it to make sure that everything is ok with hardware before they reinstall windows. So I left my $1000 gaming computer with Microsoft to have them diag the hardware and the wipe the drive clean and then they are going to reinstall windows. Oh and by the way, they said they can’t guarantee anything since it’s a custom built computer. I was able to resolve the issue by using the Windows Media Creation Tool.

Before doing anything, make sure you are logged into the PC locally with admin rights. Download the tool here:the.exe and create an ISO file on your desktop. Right click on the file and select “open with Windows Explorer”Right click on the.exe file and select “run as Administrator”Takes about an hour for the total process. I’ve successfully used this on several PCs that had the same error. A workaround to create a new user and copy data over to profile is NOT an answer. This problem is and has been persistent for over 3 years. It is obvious that something within the Microsoft code is BREAKING this functionality.The disaster that is windows 10 is very apparent, but moving back to windows 7 won’t help much either considering the monthly 300mb patches that are needed and host of other daily patches.The most widely used software is also the most dysfunctional software.

Moving to an Apple with OSx is NOT an option (yes it has problems too)Personally screw all this GUI crap and lets just go back to old dot-matrix style command line service!!!!!!. I had this problem just a couple of days ago and creating a new user account worked for me, but I had to deal with different storage locations for the new user account. But suddenly it re-occurred again after a drive.bat virus infected my PC. So I had to do an offline scan using Windows Defender and suddenly the problem was gone.I would have tried this one (from Nico)if I had read it earlier or if it re-occurs.open start menuright click settings iconmore app settingsreset confirmworking again!there is always a simpler way to do things.
