This was a tough error to fix, and we hope we solved your problem. It would be faster to find an alternative app and make it the default app when you install it.įinally, if you know the error is recent, maybe try to restore from a system restore point.

You could create a new Admin account, type all the above again and transfer the data, but it's not something we'd want to do. We saved it for last as the above three steps should work.ĥ: We hope you aren't still reading? If you remember when we said that if you uninstall a Windows Store app, you may not be able to get it back? Here we are. If the "You'll Need a New App to Open This Ms-Default-Location" error repeats, that didn't work. Right-click on that and Run as administrator. Press the Windows key + S and begin typing in command until you see Command Prompt. Type in Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted followed by enter.Īgain, type in Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRootWinStoreAppxManifest.XML followed by the enter key.Ĥ: This is worth a try if all else failed. Right click on that and Run as administrator. Press the Windows Key + X and click on Windows PowerShell (Admin).ġ: Type in Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach followed by the enter key.ģ: Press the Windows key + S and begin typing in Powershell until you see Windows Powershell.

Open the PowerShell console as administrator and run the command below: Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -AllUsers Reset-AppxPackage The command may return that Microsoft.SecHealthUI is not found: Package was not found. Because of this, seeing errors on the screen is common and nothing to worry about.īefore you begin, you should create a System Restore point. First of all, try to reset the Windows Security app settings. Before you begin, don't forget that the "general rule" in uninstalling Windows Apps is that you may not be able to get all of them back. You may have removed the Windows Store and Store apps with a tweaking or privacy app, Apps & Features, Powershell, or a program uninstaller and forgotten about it - until you need one of those apps. In our case, we were trying to set our default location but had deleted Maps giving us our first experience with this error. Another error message this can repair is ms-windows-store:PurgeCaches.

The primary issue was that in using vue router (from an app ported from the web), it is important that you use 'hash' mode and not 'history.Recently we ran into a Microsoft error that said: "You'll Need a New App to Open This Ms-Default-Location." We hoped we found a secret level, but indeed, all we found was another cryptic Microsoft error message. After many tries, I finally figured it out (or at least I think I know what caused the issue).
