Some Microsoft apps cannot be upgraded, uninstalled or launched
Windows 10 Desktop 10586.420, please watch my screen record
These 7 Microsoft apps are stuck in my store update list for ever, all of them had exact the same error code in the end 0x80073CF6.
What is even worse is that I have no way to uninstall them. And all of them crash on launch.
I even tried to uninstalled some of them (e.g. solitaire) by using PowerShell, I got
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-AppxPackage *solitairecollection* | Remove-AppxPackage
Remove-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF6, Package could not be registered. (Exception from
HRESULT: 0x80073CF6)
NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] b55e1ee7-c8e3-0000-606b-64b5e3c8d101 in the Event Log or use
the command line Get-AppxLog -ActivityID b55e1ee7-c8e3-0000-606b-64b5e3c8d101
At line:1 char:41
+ Get-AppxPackage *solitairecollection* | Remove-AppxPackage
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : WriteError: (Microsoft.Micro...__8wekyb3d8bbwe:String) [Remove-AppxPackage], IOException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DeploymentError,Microsoft.Windows.Appx.PackageManager.Commands.RemoveAppxPackageCommand
Any idea what can I do?
