I'm running Windows 8.1 and most of the metro apps that came preinstalled aren't working. I don't know why it's doing it. In case you're want some information on the computer, the secondary hard drive is a Toshiba DT01ACA100 Internal HDD with 1 terabyte of storage. The OS is stored on a VHD. The VHD is on a 128 GB SanDisk Cruzer USB Flash drive. The OS is set as a Windows To Go. The OS and secondary drive is set to be protected by BitLocker. The apps did still work even after protecting it with BitLocker. The apps stopped working yesterday happened yesterday. Here's a list of Metro apps I have installed. Bold means system app:
Here's a list of things I've tried so far to get the apps to work again:
Get-AppxPackage -allusers | foreach {Add-AppxPackage -register "$($_.InstallLocation)\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode}
in PowerShellThe driver was for an Intel HD Graphics 630, which is only compatible with Windows 10 without modification, and doesn't work with Windows 8.1 or below without modification. I installed the driver 5/20/2021, and the issue started on 5/24/2021, so I could confirm that it wasn't because of the driver) I don't want to have to reinstall Windows 8.1 unless it's necessary because a few things I have set up on the Windows 8.1 To Go took a while for me to setup. Mainly a local Minecraft server, which is the reason I made the Windows To Go flashdrive, and the driver. It took a decent amount of time to find the right piece of code to insert. The Windows 8.1 is in test mode, but it's in test mode so that it lets me use the custom driver. But I put in test mode the same day I installed the driver, so I know that the driver wasn't causing it. Here's the error I get:
This app can't open.
Check the Windows Store for more info about Alarms.
Go to the store
Close
Do you know what's causing it and how I can fix it?
Edit: I looked in Event Viewer and found some more info. Here's what the log says:
Activation of the app Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App for the Windows.Launch contract was blocked with error 0x80073CFC because its package is in state: License Issue.
I haven't redirected the apps to be installed to another drive.
