Calculator not opening windows 10 update#

For one of them the first thing I tried was the 1607 update hoping it would resolve it, but unfortunately it doesn't. So far this week I've had two users who were on 1511 encounter this problem. I'm having the exact same symptoms as the OP with those event log entries and the modern apps flashing and disappearing when you try to run them. I can confirm that 1607 does NOT resolve this issue. Several PCs in my workplace have the same problem.

Has anyone else had this issue and been able to resolve it? I've tried various 'fixes' but nothing seems to work, at the moment. When I go into the operational log, I get these messages:ДЄctivation via contract helper of the app Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App for the Windows.Launch contract failed with server execution failed.ДЄctivation of the app Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App for the Windows.Launch contract failed with error: The app didn't start.ДЄctivateApplicationForContractByAppIdAsUserWithHost of the app Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App for the Windows.Launch contract failed with The app didn't start. See the Microsoft-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information. Looking at Event Viewer, I get the message:ДЄctivation of app Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App failed with error: The app didn't start. I've been having a few issues where, when I try to go into one of the Windows apps (calculator, photo viewer, etc), the app flashes up for a moment and then instantly shuts down.
