Windows 8.1 apps freeze and minimise to tray

Hi!
I have a problem with my win 8.1 machine. All the windows 8.1 apps like the store, weather freeze on their splash screen when I start them and then they minimise to tray. If I try to maximise them again they minimise back again after a few seconds.
These apps never get past the splash screen and there are no swirling loading dots on them (There is a similar problem other people had but they had swirling loading dots and I don't. Also I tried all the solutions I could find for that problem and none
worked). Also my apps don't have an X in the tile corner (unlike an other similar problem) and the solutions to that one also don't work for me. I tried WSreset.exe too but it just threw back a "Application didn't run" error window. I downloaded
the windows store troubleshooter and it concluded that there was a problem with store cache that it couldn't fix.
I have ownership of app security set to SYSTEM.
I ran out of ideas and hope there someone here who can give me some pointers.

Thanks for replying!
The powershell code doesn't seem to do anything. I  copypasted it and ran it but absolutely nothing happened.
the dism.exe code in Admin CMD started running and froze at a line that said "Image Version: 6.3.9600.17031"
it stayed like that until I tried to restart the machine at which point it threw back an error code and made a log I posted at the end of this comment. ("Nincs elég hely a lemezen." is hungarian for "not enough space on disk." but I have
about 400GB free on C: so I don't know what this is supposed to mean.
Also "A fájlnév, a könyvtárnév vagy a kötetcímke szintaxisa nem megfelelő." means "File name or library name or volume label sintax is incorrect")
The log continues with a very long line of Chinese characters, I pasted all the english parts.

  • My phone app freezes and message app crashes. I tried restarting multiple times and the problem persists. Everytime i go to the phone app and press on a contact to call it just freezes up and does nothing. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My phone app freezes and when i press on contact either it freezes or does nothing. Anyone know how to fix this problem? Also messaging app crashes. ANOTHER NEW PROBLEM: I can't receive calls either.

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

  • I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else.  How can I get the app to function again?

    I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else.  How can I get the app to function again?
    This happened after I tried to get Readdledocs to open an epub file which I created in Calibre.

    This is a followup to my own posting above.
    Thanks to Dave Sawyer for posting information about re-downloading an app which has been deleted.  I deleted the app from iTunes.  Then, when I synched, iTunes asked me if I wanted the items on my ipod touch copied back into iTunes.  I said yes and then synched.
    Readdledocs is now working again.  It is no longer frozen.  However, I have learned my lesson.  I will download only pdf's from now on.  I don't think it works so well with epub files.  The text reflow feature of Readdledocs is exactly what I need to use for my work documents on my ipod touch.

    The error in the event log is:The app microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe!Microsoft.WindowsLive.Calendar's package family (microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe) has more than one package installed. This is not supported, so the app
    was not activated for the Windows.Launch contract.
    The problem doesn't happen with a local user or before the laptop was on the domain.
    We have tried following with no luck:
    *Permission changes for ALL APLICATION PACKAGES
    * Laptop and user in an OU with no group policies applying
    *Same ISO re-downloaded
    *Registry changes advised by Microsoft
    * Local admin rights to domain user
    Uninstalling and re-installing the apps manually fixed this issue but this isn't the correct way of fixing this as Windows 8 will be rolled out company wide.
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks

    Hi,
    How are the APPs installed on the PC before joining into domain? With Microsoft account?
    Besides, have you checked this blog?
    What to do if your Windows 8 Modern App fails to start
    Please follow the steps mentioned to see if any group policy settings(like AppLocker, logon scripts or proxy settings) or the image itself caused this.

  • Itunes 10 update on windows 7 makes it freeze and not respond

    Ever since I updated my itunes to the newest version my itunes will freeze and not respond everytime I open it.
    I use windows 7 and have not add-ons
    any help

    Many thanks.
    That's consistent with an application (other than QuickTime itself) having dropped old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

    Hi n_man2000,
    You need to move your mouse to the top of the screen and then click the
    Close button in the title bar.
    For more information about how to close an APP in Windows 8.1, please check:

  • Tired of apps freezing and banging on the screen like a gorilla trying to get a response

    When will there be an update that actually improves the ios so that you can actually hit a link in safari without zooming in and so that the email quits freezing and has to be swiped away and restarted to work or when that won't even work and the device must be hard reset. It is so frustrating. It is the same with the home button; half the time it double clicks when I click once and often it doesn't work at all. I have been so loyal because Apple products used to just work and now they just don't seem to be any more stable than all of the other me too products. I promised my wife that I would buy us apple watches when they come out but now the price is so much higher than expected and if they operate like my other devices I am worried that it will be a wast of thousands of dollars. I know this is a rant but product support wants $35 to even chat about my problems and I am just about done with this crap. By the way my family has three iPods and two phones between us and the problems are on all of them. I know apple wants profits but test some of this stuff or actually provide updates that resolve problems not just put a watch app on the phone to suck up even more memory. Worst of all I will probably buy the **** watches anyhow. The good part is that if they are crappy I know I won't get over it and that will save me some money long term. No sense paying a premium for a dud.

    I have hard reset my device (many times out of need), synced the device a few times, removed apps and media to reduce burden on memory, cleared running aps, and yes I have restored though I did this on my phone which was having similar issues and it helped a little. These are the same issues as my wife and daughter have with thier iPads also. I understand things go wrong with software and that no matter what bugs can be present but it used to be minimal with apple and they used to be rectified quickly. My question is really for apple and perhaps it should be more clear: HAVE THEY LOST THIER WAY ON QUALITY CONTROL. Are apple devices the same as the rest now and not worth the premium. It was easy to be a raving fan when the products just worked. I accepted that thre were limitations such as no flash and no USB because those items caused bugs and eliminating them made the product more stable. My devices are not more stable than others any more and I wonder if the issues are just part of apple products now or if there is a solution. I just asked four people about the issues with te home button and everyone had them. No one had the finger print scanner though. Is that change the ssue? My devices freeze all the time and it is getting old. I am convinced it is not my fault in any event.

  • Apps freeze and shutdown

    Apps keep freezing and shutting down. Also phone keeps asking for email password repeatedly. Tried turning it off and a soft reset.

    Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.

  • Windows 8.1 randomly freezes and restarts on Dell Venue Pro 11

    I have a new Dell Venue Pro 11 with Windows 8.1. It freezes at random times -- on random processes (music, firefox, etc.) -- goes to the BSOD and  into a restart. Happens a few random times-- a day; no pattern. Looking through the answers to related
    questions seems it comes down to hardware problem (new machine) or reinstall the OS. Correct?
