Many problems in Windows 10 occur due to system errors or user misuse, such as installing multiple programs at once or irregular task scheduling. In either case, the issue can be resolved using one of the 5 free tools to fix any problem you encounter in Windows 10, or by performing a factory reset to eliminate any problems as if you were reinstalling a new copy without losing data.
But one of the most annoying problems that many users still face is the issue of app freezing or apps not working. We have received many comments on Alam Alcomputer’s Facebook page related to app problems in Windows 10. Some users find that when they open an app, it closes immediately, or the app does not work, or the app freezes. Therefore, we have prepared this post to present the best 4 solutions to eliminate app problems in Windows 10.
1- Uninstall/Reinstall Apps
If you encounter apps that do not work or have problems, all you have to do is uninstall the app and then reinstall it from the store. This way, any stored data from the app on the computer will be deleted, thus removing the file causing the problem. By reinstalling the app, the issue will be resolved.
Simply open the Start menu, search for the app that is not working, right-click on it, and from the dropdown menu that appears, click on Uninstall to delete the app. Then reinstall the app from the store. Sometimes, you may not find the Uninstall option in the dropdown menu if the app is part of the system’s core apps. In that case, you can try the following solutions.
2- Reset Apps
This method is suitable for all Windows 10 apps, including core apps and programs. It is one of the most effective solutions to resolve the problem of apps closing automatically, not working, or experiencing glitches. By resetting this app, all its problems will be resolved, and it will return to its default state.
To reset an app, go to the Settings app, then System, and from the sidebar menu, click on Apps and Features to display all installed apps and programs on your computer. Search for the app you are having issues with and after clicking on it, press the advanced options button, which will take you to a page with quick details about the app, including the Reset button. Click on the Reset button to reset the app.
If you do not find these options on your device, you need to install the annual Windows 10 update.
3- Clear App Cache
Clearing the app cache is similar to resetting to factory settings, but for apps. By doing this, you can solve most of the app problems by deleting the cache memory of the app. When you run the app again, this memory will be re-stored. So how do you do this? Simply navigate to the following path on your computer:
C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Local\Packages
In the Packages folder, you will find all the temporary storage files for all apps installed on Windows. You will find each file with Microsoft and the app’s name. After locating the app file you are having problems with, delete it from the computer and then restart the computer.
4- Check System Files
